Do u take anything for it?

Used to do a combo of ambien and lorazapan and it stopped, Trazadone does not work, ect. I inherited my mothers aunts sleep disorder. My sleep apnea dr said ooh i should be sleeping easy with my bi pap, hell no it does not help. My mind does not shut down, when i do sleep i don't hit rem until its way to late.

I haven't hit rem reliably in years. I can't take ambian ...Im one of those people that walk around doing weird things when I take it...including eating without knowing it. That experiment made for some interesting family folklore!

I have insomnia too and rely on Tylenol pm which does occasionally work. My cpap is a pain in the butt now but I think the pressure may be too high I just don't wanna have to go back into the sleep center again and test again until I'm hoping...sleep apnea may just be gone!

I also log on here to see what everyone is up to. My day to day life is usually pretty boring and also I can't really talk to just anyone about this whole process. Nobody really understands this and I love hearing what u guys are experiencing also..sometimes it's great to see I'm not the only one out there going thru some of this stuff. Who else can I talk to about Constipation and shoveling prunes down my throat cause no other lax seems to be working!?!? That's special lol

I was given my bi pap at a skinny stage of my life. I don't wear mine right now because i tend to have air leak into my stomach and cause terrible pain. I talked to the pulmonary people when i had surgery and told them what goes on. But my levels are only very high because I'm a shallow breather. But since I've lost some weight i don't snore like i used to. I just need to find another sleep Dr who will work with my disorder and listen to me about that instead of yelling at me for not wearing my mask.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
