Wish me luck. I am paranoid about getting a false negative result. I really think I have it. That's all. Had major anxiety all day because my entire life is banking on this.
Just wondering: I assume this impacts people with sleep apnea as well but can anyone else relate to this:
I wake up usually once a night (and now have to because of medication) but I have noticed that 2 wakeups = noticeably worse the next day and 3 wakeups= incredibly bad mental health the next day. It feels like daytime stimulants are "weird" on multiple wakeup days too
Since I have only been chasing the sleep apnea angle I am very unprepared/un "therapy'd" as it were. By the latter I mean I haven't had anyone to talk to about these issues and for years I couldn't tell if they were just in my head.
While I am awaiting DISE I believe I am at the "end game" of symptoms getting worse. I now rarely leave the house, I don't enjoy anything, and I only do things that I absolutely have to for the most part. I noticed the symptoms continued to get worse but I have to wonder what could be even worse than this now?
Hello it's me again.
If I in fact do have UARS (I have DISE soon. Confirmed to have deviated epiglottis. Extremely likely I have UARS) I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on supplements in the meantime to help the lethargy.
I started noticing issues in my early 20s and I'm almost 40 so it's really hard for me right now to get through the day.
In general I have noticed that the efficacy of all medications/supplements seems to be incredibly dulled the more time goes on but am wondering if there's something out there
Hello. I will keep this short but from what I can tell I have UARS (about to get DISE) and I started noticing minor issues in my early 20s but I'm almost 40 now.
Currently I don't believe my symptoms could continue to get worse because as of now I have lost pretty much the entire ability to care or be motivated to do anything. Several years ago I said to myself "if whatever is wrong isn't fixed soon I will be unable to function" and now I think I am at that point: every year aspects of my physical and mental health got worse and I believe I'm damn near at the bottom in terms of health.
Unfortunately, nobody diagnosed me despite having probably close to 100 appointments with ENTs and sleep medicine doctors/pulmonologists.
But the persistent health decline is what I am curious about: I had a six figure job and was traveling and living life to the fullest and now I sit on bed all day. Surgery can't come soon enough
I'm very aware of the problematic combination of the two but if I had to choose Xywav or no Xywav, I would have to take Xywav.
Adderall and dexedrine barely do anything to help push through the mental block. I am not tired anymore and not depressed/anxious..I just don't want to do anything. I've been lowering my doses to try that out but so far doesn't seem to do much (baseline lethargy seems to always be there)
