Hello! I haven't checked in with you for awhile. I hope all is well with you; how are you doing with the Sleep Apnea? I have times when I think I'm doing OK but lately I 've been very tired despite wearing my mask all night, sigh. Anyway, noticed that you are in Alexandria, VA; my husband and I go to concerts at the Birchmere 2 or 3 times a year! Have a nice holiday!
I’m With You
If you say so, LOL!! It is really hard to believe that sometimes when you are in the throes of it all! Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for the pick me up! My first sleep study did not involve a mask so this is all really crazy for me.

Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have episodes of IBS during high stress periods that are similiar to allergic reactions. However, I don't believe it to be an allergic reaction but a sensitivity due to the stress and tension. As I am sensitive to everything I eat during the time period after my first reaction. I get really tired after I eat. I am attempting to treat the stress that will hopefully resolve the IBS.
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Terrible IBS that resulted in a reaction everytime I ate. The reaction was suspected to be due to hightened sensitivity due to stress/anxiety.
Open Fibromyalgia
Not sure if I have Fibro, have some of the symptoms and it actually runs on my father's mother's side of the family (several of my Aunt's and cousins have it). I have been experiencing IBS flare ups during high stress/anxiety time periods in which I get sensitive to everything that I put in my stomach almost like an allergic rxn. In addition, I have muscle ache's. Wanted to find out more about Fibro.
Treatments
Open Sleep Apnea
