In reply to Sleep apnea, anyone?, posted by Sammybabe on October 1, 2004, at 15:05:18
Yep, I have it. Central apnea, not obstructive. I apparently just forget to breathe.
I have no real advice. I'm on Provigil for daytime sleepiness, but my feelings about that are really mixed.
I've refused to try the CPAP so far. If they could give me a loaner, I wouldn't mind trying it, but since I don't think I'd like it I don't want to make an investment.
I'm not sure if the apnea has an effect on my depression, but I have bipolar tendencies and sleep either has a huge effect on my mood cycles or is a huge result of my mood cycles.
