The only way I am able to get adequate moisture is for there to be "significant" 'rain out' in my tube or mask. I am starting to feel like a fish. However, I feel so much better and can breath so much easier it is worth whatever baptism I might get.
My issue is with the weather changing or when traveling... I am having a difficult time adjusting my ASV to maintain the necessary moisture to meet my demand for moisture.
I do the humidifier, saline spray, also expectorant and hydrate constantly... I am at war.
Anyone understand the physics of condensation to give me a tip or two?... Dry nose, mouth, throat and eyes are miserable. I'm hating i feel like i am going to suffocate... my lungs are feeling like they are coated with nearly dry flour paste. My lungs are doing a rain dance...
Anyone?
Recently I realized that several of my medical diagnosis are connected to a malfunctioning central nervous system. Central Apnea, Fibromyalgia, IBS, ADD, and most recently Charot-Marie-Tooth disease.
I am wondering if CMT (genetic failure) could actually be the root cause for for Central Apnea.
Hello DanM- Already busy working on a few proposals. I truly wish I were able to become more involved. I am disabled and each day is full of surprises... i am hoping one day the surprise will be that I have discovered a way to stitch all my broken pieces into a contributing member of society again. MyApnea.org. is giving me one more piece to build with ... Thank You.
Hi- I am Renee and would like to give a better introduction of myself at a later time. Currently I am too exhausted from, years of....... At this point I have Central Apnea, having arrived at one more diagnosis in my lifetime for which there are no "answers". Believe I read on person's response on here...given the choice between her previous diagnosis with cancer and her diagnosis with CA, she would choose cancer again anytime.
It is so disheartening to go through hundreds of pages on NIH research activities and see less than a dozen, if that many studies looking at this condition.
Restorative rest is so critical... why are they ignoring CA? Collaborative research design will provide important trends and overwhelming concerns in a more timely fashion. This initiative gives new hope to many patients who have felt, and many times been, unheard. Thank you for stepping up.
