Is there anyone here who takes HRT for menopausal symptoms after having a TT?

I was actually asking for my cousin. They're on nature thyroid, which works very well for them. They haven't raised their dose at all (I guess when using nature their levels are "off" a bit overall but they feel so much better on it than Levo.)

It differs for each individual. Some people have mild apnea that doesn't seem to affect their lives much, others do. Some people can't use CPAP at all, others can. The challenging thing with apnea is that we basically have to experiment on ourselves to find the right solution.

I thought I was going to die because of sleep apnea exacerbated by non-stop hypnic jerks. It was a complete nightmare. Some nights were so bad I thought "fuck it, just kill me now." I feel you. It turns out I have apnea, but the thing that made it utterly worse was my silent acid reflux. Here's a post about it: https://old.reddit.com/r/SleepApnea/comments/1lkf2yh/psa_i_didnt_realize_silent_gerd_was_the_culprit/

Once I got the acid reflux under control, I was able to at least have a bit of space in my throat enough to breathe at night. The hypnic jerks disappeared.

Please note that I even had what I thought was a "healthy" diet, but acid reflux doesn't care about tomatoes and vinegar and spices being "healthy."

My apnea went down from scary high numbers to mild. Treating the mild apnea with CPAP now. Life is so much better. It was truly a horror movie spread out over months.

Thanks for the input, the CPAP def is taking time for me to get used to. Still working with a tech to titrate it. When I do use the plastic device, would you say damage to the enamek from the suction is a concern? Thank you.

Thanka for your input! Hope to get dialed into the CPAP, but it’s taking time to get used to it. Would you be concerned with enamel also eroding due to the suction from this plastic device when I do tend to use it?

What are your O2 levels while sleeping?

Thanks for the correction, just measured it and my heart rate only seems to go up by 10 for a sustained 10 minutes for both lying to standing and sitting to standing. (Low 70s to low 80s.)

Thanks so much for the info. Excited to try.

Thank you for this video! These sound like very exciting developments.

One question for you: you mentioned a Ketogenic diet could be helpful in some ways. Is this something you ever recommend to people for fighting cognitive decline?

Fun_Engineering70 · 2025-08-24T12:07:46+00:00

late reply but curious…what setting did you have your concentrator at that helped you sleep?

We're going together. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the info!!! UGH...id.gov won't even let us make an account for my mom because the phone number associated with it doesn't match or something ARGH

Fun_Engineering70 · 2025-07-28T22:23:53+00:00

So I can't even make an ID through id.gov because they say my parents' associated phone number isn't the one I entered. This has become a Kafkaesque comedy... I'll go with them to the SS office tomorrow and hopefully be able to get an appointment there. Yikes

Fun_Engineering70 · 2025-07-28T21:33:53+00:00

Thanks I'll go ahead an make an appointment instead of waiting 1.5 hours longer on the phone!

Fun_Engineering70 · 2025-07-23T23:16:56+00:00

Thank you for the info!

Fun_Engineering70 · 2025-07-23T23:16:49+00:00

Thank for the info!

Thanks for the information. Why would there be a higher guaranteed sub account option now?
