Hi Comeonthen,

I am not familiar with IGF1 or impaired mitochondrial function but I did do some searching and your impaired mitochondrial function does cause weakness/loss of coordination and neurological problems as well as other symptoms.

Information about mitochondrial function:

Have you asked your Dr. how best to deal with your Sleep Apnea? I am quite familiar with sleep apnea as I have lived with it for quite some years.

Quote:
I can more or less resolve by not sleeping on my back
This does not resolve sleep apnea. I am able to sleep on my side or in a recliner without much difficulty. However, this does not improve the difficulties sleep apnea can cause (cognitive difficulties, fatigue, ect.). I do much better physically and mentally when using a CPAP.

Some do better when using a Bi-pap vs CPAP and might be an option for you.

Without treatment for sleep apnea your risk of a heart attack or stroke rise substantially and puts you at risk for other health problems.

Take care!
