Avatar f tn My friend's company replaces his CPAP supplies whenever he asks. They give you instructions on how to keep it clean. Obviously nobody wants to do it, but there are consequences. Otherwise they would let you do it the easy way. Now you have unexplained lung nodules, so you will have to get a biopsy to find out what is going on. Nobody here can help you.

Avatar n tn There is clear and recognized link between MS and sleep disorders --- at least some types of sleep disorders and especially when MS lesions are present in the brain stem. MS can definitely cause a type of sleep apnea called central sleep apnea. I'm wondering if you have that and if it might be why you need bi-pap instead of CPAP. Do you have trouble exhaling against the constant air pressure of CPAP (if you ever used it, of course)?
572651 tn?1530999357 Park, Tonight I was talking with Shadowsister and she is having trouble with nighttime sleeping - she is having MS spasm problems with her tracheotomy and the tube has become clogged and has also been ejected by the spasms. This is the first these problems have happened in the approx. 20 years she has had a trach. Sleep is worrisome to her because of this problem, and she mentioned that she was going to ask her doctor for a CPAP machine to use to help keep her airway open.
559187 tn?1330782856 For whatever it's worth, I have sleep apnea, MS and degenerative disk disease. Also insomnia which could be caused by pain and sleeping meds (go figure!). I saw my pulmonary specialist/sleep doc after the dx of MS and he said there is a link to MS. He wants to repeat sleep tests every two years. I can't recall what the numbers from my last study are but I'll be repeating the test soon; I feel the need to research this more. The more I read about apnea, the more concerned I get.
Avatar f tn I found that my energy level improved with CPAP but I still had my MS fatigue, so between CPAP and Adderall, on a good day, I am feel super. On Tysabri day, I feel like my butt got kicked and spend the afternoon on the recliner! I did get my Tysabri this week! I took aspirin to make sure (LOL) but it was 98.5. Seems a fever makes Tysabri act weird or something.
Avatar f tn Ok, I get it that we have things other than MS, but as I drove home from getting CPAP instructions this morning, I realized I had a dance card full of diseases "guaranteed for life". None of which I want. MS OSA MVP A Fib SSS Sigh…..will gift wrap if anyone knows anyone with nothing to complain about……. Thanks guys……..
359574 tn?1328360424 I so wanted to avoid a CPAP machine. I have an appointment Friday afternoon to see my MS specialist neurologist and his psychologist for additional testing and to go over my new MRIs, SSER, and the like. Now I get to go back the same night and do another sleep study to see how well a machine helps. When I had my first appointment, he asked what symptom I had that bothered me most. I said the weird paresthesias.
961503 tn?1247059639 Go back to whoever you get your cpap supplies from and ask about a full face mask. The chin strap did not work for me....... I had to get the mask that covers both nose and mouth. Hope that helps!
359574 tn?1328360424 I saw the MS neurologist, neuropsychologist, and nurse practitioner today. There is an entry in my journal with the prior stuff. No new or enhancing lesions anywhere. The few punctate ones on my 3T brain MRI don't show on the 1.5T one taken with MS protocol, and the neuroradiologist doesn't mention any. I still have the two in my cervical spine. Nothing interesting in my thoracic.
Avatar f tn Pressure support ventilation, where air under gentle pressure is passed into the airways keeping it patent. A CPAP delivers continuous pressure for both inhaling and exhaling. As this supplies continuous amount of air pressure the person has to exhale against this extra pressure. This makes it imperfect or unsuitable for certain people, such as those who are suffering from neuromuscular diseases.
14639105 tn?1435620384 32am 6 lbs 11 ozs 20 inches. But he had a true knot in his cord and wasn't breathing...the longest 3 minutes and 12 seconds of my life...I had to be sedated for anxiety but before I went out I heard him cry. Jack was in the NICU on a cpap machine 24 hrs,oxygen cannula for 24 h rs & a 7 day course of antibiotics. It's been a tough,exhausting super emotional roller coaster but, at 2am Monday morning our baby boy comes home.
Avatar f tn   We just let a lady go that had worked for us for about 2 years. If any one knows of a Dr. close to Jackson MS. I would love to hear from you.  Thank you, and I hope you are having as pain free a day as possible.
Avatar f tn I've had RLS for about the past 10 years and periodic limb movements and wore a CPAP before I lost 75 lbs. I'm still not getting more than 2 - 4 hours of sleep a night and most is interupted. I never feel rested. I'm going through testing for MS...do you know if these neurological symptoms are ever related to MS?
Avatar f tn s the chicken or the egg question. Does sleep apnea cause MS or vice versa? Assuming that your CPAP numbers look good (compliance, leaks and AHI), then there may be something else going on. But before you look for other explanations, make sure that your CPAP therapy is optimal. If your machine doesn't have these reports, then consider asking for a model that has these features. An auto-adjusting machine is another option (that usually has all these reporting features).
1094370 tn?1317134825 20 small brain lesions but inconsistent with MS. All other tests were negative for MS. Diagonsed with Lyme disease through Igenex (but not CDC). Spent a year on ABX but still have some nerve symptoms. Recently I was also DX with early asthma and saw a pulminory doctor. I followed-up with him yesterday and he wants to do a sleep study.
Avatar n tn Mississippi has the "Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi" which helps folks out with issues like this when insurance companies won't pay for supplies, meds, etc. When we moved from Ala back to MS in May they gave my child 1 months supply of Lantus--they will also give $ if they do not have the supplies you need-you may want to check with the Diabetes Foundation of your state....
572651 tn?1530999357 Accelerated Cure Project is an active repository of data and blood samples from MS patients and their matched controls (siblings, parents, spouses) if possible. These samples are meticulously collected at sites across the US and then are shared with researchers who are looking to unlock all the MySteries of this disease. The collection involves people with MS, NO, ADEM and ON - all those demyelinating diseases that seem to chart a common course.
