I don't think your a freek! When we were kids (and there were alot of us) my brother would choke and weez in his sleep, I could hear him from the other bedroom. As we were close in age opposed to the other kids (13 mos.) I would go into the room and slap him awake. My dad has this also, my poor mother to this day has to go sleep in their motorhome, which they have parked on the property, just so she can sleep! I don't know how common it is to have both, but I do know sleep apena is common. Hey, total change of subject, but how did the meeting go out at kaiser saturday, I'm going to the next one for sure.

I remember coming home from college, and wherever my father was sleeping that night, the whole house shook.

The meeting was okay. Weird tho. They seemed to see celiac disease as some kind of burdon, I view it as "FINALLY, I know what it is! YAY!". Maybe I'm weird. And they talked about how big this transition is, it hasn't been that hard for me. Maybe I'm weird. Next month they r gonna have a guest speaker. C u there!

Two years ago when I started visiting doctors nonstop, I even went as far as to get tested for sleep apnea. I had no other explanation for how tired I always was.

Well... I was tested negative, no sleep apnea. Only one small apnea all night... but the doctor did say it is something that will likely develop, in like, 20 years or something.

Hope that helps.
