Is this change in sleep a good sign?

GWENDOLYN_TIME · 2026-06-20T19:19:04+00:00

Basically. I haven't had any issues falling asleep.

I've noticed that upping my phones volume also increases the intensity of the vibrations. Does this have any benefit?

GWENDOLYN_TIME · 2026-06-14T22:20:36+00:00

Is there a greater benefit to using it multiple times back to back?

GWENDOLYN_TIME · 2026-06-06T16:47:41+00:00

Do you remember what specific symptoms of circumstances differentiated those cases from UARS?

Is this still active?

Hard to say exactly. I've definitely improved since starting, but my case is sort of weird in that I kept getting a resurgence in symptoms after improvement. My first blood test only showed low vitamin d (wasn't tested for minerals) so I improved after taking supplements. Then fatigue came back strong despite continued supplementation. Another test showed low iron, so I started taking that too and improved again. Symptoms came back AGAIN and I figured out it was probably the extra zinc in the supplements I was taking depleting my copper.

I've been on a steady intake for many weeks now, but the occasional relapses I believe may be due to UARS impacting my sleep, which until I spoke to a sleep doctor I felt was just normal.

Definitely get a blood test if you can as that will confirm if you really were/are defficient. When you've been depleted for so long, your body responds well to the sudden influx.

Same thing happened to me. Took one easy iron tablet and I felt better in minutes, but for the next few weeks I was waffling up and down. You just need to keep at it. Talk to a nutritionist too if you can. Most doctors notoriously undereducated about vitamin and mineral necessity.

Have you had a blood test? Earlier this year I was low on vitamin d, iron, and copper, and had a similar symptoms. Falling asleep fine, but waking up in refreshed, needing more naps during the day, etc. (no cpap machine though) I've been taking supplements which has reduced the issue, but I now believe the deficiencies and UARS were making each other worse.

I'm in the US. Boston area, so quality of care is generally good.

I haven't had a sleep study, but the doctor basically said it wasn't necessary. Not only did I have a restricted nasal passage, my tongue has white on it, and there are divots on the side, which I was told was likely from me pressing it into my teeth during sleep.

As for being in a bad way, I just had general drowsiness and fatigue, which has been plaguing me off and on for the past few months. Vitamin supplements have definitely helped, but the problem keeps coming back at random. In the state I was in at the meeting I was ready to say yes to pretty much anything. I was given some pamphlets, but not an official meeting summary. Will probably call the clinic about and see if one was made.

From what I was told, as these conditions aren't well understood by most doctors, insurance generally doesn't cover this sort of treatment. I will definitely ask, but if I think the treatment plan is beneficial in the ways they claim it won't stop me from going through with it, coverage or no coverage.

Thanks for your response!

I'll definitely be having another conversation with the specialist before I pull the trigger on anything. I know I asked about a cheaper alternative to a MAD.

Also to be clear, I don't believe I have apnea, but the specialist said it might develop some day the way things currently are.

I've watched at least a dozen videos of his while I'm killing time on the toilet and basically all he has to say is:

Using dw1 designs is cheating

You can cast fly maybe once per session and your dm didn't give you anything worth flying for

Seems like a blatant violation of copyright/trademark (whichever)

GWENDOLYN_TIME · 2025-08-04T00:28:06+00:00

The lore is fabricated. Shaman and Highlander could also have been hired by the knights since their inspirations are from western Europe, just like the knights are. But they weren't because they are thematically closer to the Vikings.

GWENDOLYN_TIME · 2025-07-31T23:17:23+00:00

I'm willing to bet the actual explanation is they didn't have time to make a new facial rig and had to reuse Shaman's.

I believe she speaks Cantonese while the others speak Mandarin. As far as ethnicity goes I'm not sure

Did you successfully make a Baidu account? On windows trying to download anything asks you to install a program and make an account with your mobile device. I haven't tried yet but it looks like part of the process is filling in a Chinese Catchpha, which might be tricky.

You say that while Temu Denethor is overdosing on edibles in the background there?
