- I recently took Lyrica for numbness in my right leg. I developed major swelling in my ankles and feet. It was horrendous. I was told that it was a major side affect of the Lyrica so I stopped taking it immed. I also put on 11 pounds in a week. ...
- My doc just prescribed Provigil, a drug that is given to people with Sleep Apnea who still can't stay awake during the day. This is the first time I've heard of such a drug yet the doctor told me it's in demand all the time.Has anyone tried this? ...
- I thought I was having a terrible flare. So much pain. I was eliminating whatever I could think of that might be causing all this pain. Then it got so bad that I couldn't function and I started thinking maybe it was a UTI or yeast infection. I...
- I've only been given 3 sizes - small, med and large - when I've gotten new nasal pillows. At my sleep study last week I was given a PETITE size. The therapist told me that the reason I have air leakage is because the small is too big for me. I've...
- It's been 10 years since my first and only sleep study. I finally got my PCP to order another one. I was told not to bring my current machine or mask if I'm interested in getting new stuff. I certainly want to see what's out there in mask world. ...
- One of the sweetest woman here is Kendra Ruth. She's written about her experiences with IC. She was always a faithful visiter here but I see she hasn't been around since Oct. 25th. This makes me sad and worried. I hope she's OK. Kendra - come...
- Has anyone tried this mask? Well, not really a mask I guess. It's a device that snaps onto your upper teeth and 2 hoses come off it that goes up your nose. I guess they are nasal pillows. I'm not sure I want to sleep with something in my mouth. ...
- Some mornings I wake up and I'd swear that the air from the CPAP went right to my stomach. It's so gross and it hurts like hell. I would have sworn I saw a thread about this but now I can't find it.Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes it...
- At least that was the hook on TV to keep us watching through all the commercials. I was watching "The Doctors" and of course this was a subject close to my heart. Since I didn't stay through the commercials I checked out the "quick fix" online.Not...
- Has anyone seen the TV show Mike & Molly? Mike, an overweight man, has sleep apnea and he sleeps with a full face CPAP mask. I thought this was going to be a positive, encouraging thing but they turned it into a joke. When his girlfriend Molly...
- Hey everyone. I want to tell you guys about a horrible thing that happened to me so it doesn't happen to anyone else.I've been using Fentanyl pain patches for a couple of months now. They kinda work taking the worst IC pain away. Since this is a...
- I haven't been able to get here in such a long me. I'm sorry that so many of you are still in pain, seaching for answers. It makes me very sad.I'm still taking Elmiron and using Fentanyl pain patches. Still no relief. I hate IC!! It's so very...
- If there are any Navy Seal family members here - I'd like to give you all a huge THANK YOU for the dedicated, extremely dangerous job your Seal does for our country, My son was in Seal training but had to drop out when he got hurt. I was very...
- I thought I had finally beat this ugly IC pain when I started using these pain patches. 25M a patch, a new one every 3 days. Then the pain started breaking through......UGH!! The dose was upped to 50M but with no relief. The side affects are...
- I just want to let all my peeps in pain why I haven't been here - my laptop hasn't been working. I'm going to catch up with everyone as fast as I can :)
