--many people have dairy intolerances (far more, I think, than is usually suspected) that produce gastric symptoms that interfere with sleep and/or an accumulation of mucus that could interfere with the normal breathing of sleep and be mistaken for sleep apnea.
If only this were true, I would love to get rid of that CPAP. No one likes being a member of the hosehead society. I have been told the dairy may have been part of the mix, but the apnea is still the main issue.I'm sure I will be having anohter sleep study done in time. My PCP says he likes his patients tested every 1 to 2 years, and it's over 1 year now. I actually do not feel any benefits from using or not using it...I just don't know. Some nights it bothers me so much I throw it aside, like last night.

Sleep is something we all need, it certainly makes a huge difference in how we cope from day to day.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
