Thanks for the prompt replies. You guys are awesome! The post in sleep apnea forum goes unanswered so far. I guess it's more a PCS thing...


Mark how did you get diagnosed with central sleep apnea? I see my quite uninformed uninterested doctor tomorrow for reassessment to determine if I'm able to return to work (which I'm not but WCB will likely try to make me) and I'd like to bring this up to her. If I can get a referral out of her, I'd like to know how to specifically ask but like you mentioned most specialists focus on obstructive apnea.


I don't think it's obstructive simply because I've never had this before, but I know anything is possible. With the medical system I guess the usual route is to test for everything it's NOT before determining what it IS. All I care is finding a way to cope. I'll try positioning like you said, and avoid any CNS depressants because that was terrifying.


Off to take my fish oil.... Mark if you ever doubt that your wisdom makes a difference let me tell you, your experience has already made a huge impact to me. Not one medical professional has offered any guidance for supplements, type of rest, or even icing. I received NADA advice. So you've been my guru.


That goes for everyone who gives of their time and resources on here! Thanks so much for giving your patient advice to newbies like me!
