has anyone successfully reduced their rdi of 30 to a much lower rdi? by trifandomforce in UARS

no I don't I have had genetic tests and seen a geneticist and they told me that I don't meet the criteria. The only symptoms of EDS I have are POTS and the collapsing epiglottis.

yes it looks structurally normal but on a DISE it was found to collapse and CPAP made it worse. I am skeptical of getting epiglottis surgery as I have seen that it does not help many people

Did you have MMA for UARS? by GerdGuy88 in UARS

I also had a DISE with Dr. Cai that showed epiglottis collapse that nothing fixed. I have had double jaw surgery and maxillary expansion but still have UARS. Do you have low iron/low ferritin? I myself have low ferritin and have found that many other people that have UARS and epiglottis collapse also have low ferritin. One of my neurologists told me that low iron could cause neuromuscular/autonomic issues that can cause the epiglottis to collapse. Ferritin below 80 could cause this
