Question:
has anyone here found that successful cpap use improved the symptoms of
their fibromyalgia?
considering that some of the research claims that the deprivation of deep
sleep causes fms...should I be optimistic????
Answer:
I was on CPAP for over a year and found that it helped tremendously. I
slept so much better and felt better generally. I highly recommend it!
I'm off of it now, but not because of how it worked. I hope to go back on
it soon.
I believe that this really might help. I did the study and got the machine.
My problem is that I have post-herpetic neuralgia on the entire rear half of
my head. Could never find a mask situation that did not irritate it.
Well I could breathe well and not walk in the morning or I could keep
walking. The nerve problem on the back of my head instigates the whole right
side of the body.
I am not a doctor, but.....
I have read about a protocol for post shingles and shingles treament which is
similar to herpes which is what I think you're describing on the back of your
head?
The treatment is a vitamin protocol used in Europe and I have used it
successfully on three occasions for shingles.
Take 1000 mg of lysine every day. Take a 1 cc(I hope that's right but it's a 1
measurment on the syringe) of B-12 every day for 2 weeks or so. Also take up to
6000 mg of vitamin C and 50 mg of zinc every day. There is also a chinese
herbal formula that helps with this problem but the study refers specifically to
the B-12, Vit. C and Zinc.
None of these things are toxic in these doses and I have never heard of side
effects. The other option is to try combining this with a good acupuncturist
and they sometimes have good results with these kinds of pains if I understand
what your problem is correctly.
