Back from neuro
 

I saw my neuro today.

She wasn't too concerned with the breathing issues. I have it figured out now, at least how to describe it. When I'm really focused on something, it's like I forget to breathe, then I get dizzy and remember to :rolleyes:

But my leg pain, eye pain and facial pain are all a lot worse. So she's upping one of my meds to help with the facial pain and there's nothing else we can do at this point.

I have to go get more blood work next week and go back to the neuro in a month.

I think we all have that problem, forgetting to breath, once in awhile.
I know I do.:rolleyes: Other than that, it sounds like you're in a wait and see
pattern. Welcome to the club.

I hope the up in meds helps to make your pain go away.:hug:

I sometimes get that "forgot to breathe" feeling. When I am at high elevations (4,000 feet above sea level or more) it becomes much, MUCH worse. I also seem to stop breathing in my sleep when ever I go into REM sleep. It is still called sleep apnea, but it is not the obstructive kind.

Yeah, I've been in a holding pattern since about June of 08. Not a whole lot we can do, just treat the symptoms.

It's very frustrating right now, but I just have to learn to cope again. Seems like I get used to my new "normal" and then something new pops up.

i'm glad your dr is listening and trying to help with sx's.
when i'm bending over my big stomach i tend to hold my breath and then get short of breath...duh
