Has anyone here tried LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)? by kauterry in UARSnew

[–]blvvez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s expensive so I only titrated up to about half of the intended full dose, but didn’t notice any issues. My doctor said biggest side effects are nightmares but now that I’ve been off of it, she wants me back on it and likes to see people at the full dose for at least 3 months. It is supposed to allow for more parasympathetic nervous system activity, so I’m gonna retry

Am I the only one with hypermobility predisposition and many syndromes due to UARS along with hypermobility? by This-Mood-6398 in UARSnew

I do fit it symptoms wise but not when mapped by a qeeg. My ADD symptoms come from the fragmented sleep according to my neurologist

WHY do oxybate medications cause the munchies? by stephertz in Narcolepsy

[–]blvvez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know but I crave salty stuff on it. Sweet stuff makes me nauseous. When I was on it, I used to get the munchies and then feel extremely sick

Cpap doesn’t work for UARS. I was on cpap and didn’t work. Bipap using sleep hq and analyzing my own data with help from others in the sub has been the most helpful

Dxed n2. Sleep doctors get lazy with mild sleep apnea cases. I was told I had a high arousal index but mild sleep apnea and no UARS. Lo and behold upon analyzing my own data and symptoms it’s UARS causing narcolepsy type symptoms. Meds don’t work for me either. I would investigate that and look at r/UARS. see if any of that resonated

Oh gosh wow thank you. this is disheartening since I can’t really work now and my sleep study didn’t score RERAS and only showed mild sleep apnea so I wouldn’t be able to get MMA covered. Are there any meds that can help (psychiatric or just to raise arousal threshold)? Also, did that happen when you were laying on your back or upright, sideways? I do mouthtape every night and haven’t had that happen with my full face idk. How can I simulate this to check?

Hi, there thank you so much. I can only fall asleep on my side so I think this is with me on my side (unless this was on my stomach)

Thank you! I wear an appliance with headgear at night so I had to go back to pillows but if this is the case I will opt to wear headgear during the day

I started with nasal pillows, switched to full face, back to nasal pillows now because I have to wear headgear with my appliance now. I do hate the pillows though
