Apnea?

How would one KNOW if they have sleep apnea?

I'm sitting here reading all of these posts, and I'm really kind of clueless. My daughter had sleep apnea, or so it seemed, until her tonsils were removed. Once she recovered from surgery... she's been sleeping just fine.

I am tired ALL day, and it's not just a sleepy tired, it's a mental and physical exhaustion. I'll go to bed around 10, get up around 7:30 (have a 10 month old) and it's a huge chore to get out of bed. I feel fine for about an hour...and then the exhaustion hits again.

I would never have thought of sleep apnea till I read some of these things --- but now I'm recalling how many times my husband has complained because I'm *all over* the bed. In fact, my 8 year old took a nap with me the other day, but said that he didn't get much rest because I kept shoving him off the bed. I have NO recollection of this at all. He said I just moved and tossed and turned all over the place.

Dh often sleeps on the couch. I just assumed it was because he falls asleep working. He says it's because I'm terrible to sleep with, I move around too much.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Does this SOUND like apnea??

Sounds more like restless leg syndrome. If it were apnea, he would complain about your snoring/breathing.

jayhawkmom - I was going to ask a similar question as my symptoms sound very like yours. Complete exhaustion! However, I do have lots of little awakenings in the night. I'm wondering if it could be RLS for me. I hope you get to the bottom of it :)

You could always get one of those sound activated voice recorders and set it by the bed at night. Or even a recorder that records all night or a large majority of the night.

And it's something that you will most likely hear. My wife has it at times, it'll start as a snore, the it sounds like the air flow is being more and more restricted and then she stops breathing completely and then she'll gasp for air after a bit of not breathing.

Apnea is diagnosed by doing a sleep study, where you sleep connected to an ekg, eeg, and other machines, and is generally treated with a c-pap machine, which is positive air pressure.

See your doctor about it.

I had apnea as a child, but it went away when I had my overgrown adenoids taken out.

There are a number of other things that can cause fatigue - hypothyroidism, hypoadrenia, anemia. Your sleeping patternd doesn't sound like apnea.

Don't know what happened there, but I was trying to post this link to a discussion on apnea--

Anemia causes sleep disturbances? I know I'm anemic....

Dh says I do snore, not all the time though.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought. However, I would point out that your linked articles refer to gliadin in human breast milk, not cow's milk. And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Have you had your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level checked? Vitamin D deficiency occurs in 40 - 60% of western societies.

Appropriate intake of vitamin D or skin production from sun, increases the absorbtion rate of Calcium.and phosphorus, two minerals crucial to...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
