Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Alana, Thanks. Have you used homeopathy for anything before. Don't you take a drop or something everyday? sea_girl111 wrote: http://tinyurl.com/3mfpjkAlana Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi , I am not using homeopathy for anything right now, but a few years ago there was a homeopathic remedy I used for insomnia that worked really well. They stopped making it, though. Yes, I do take vitamins everyday, but I don't know how well they are being absorbed due to the intestinal situation. I am on meds for the colitis, some very powerful. I tried everything natural, it did help in the beginning, but things got worse.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 One of the main causes of sleep apnea is serotonin deficiency. Studies using AA tryptophan and 5HTP have shown them to be helpful. Why? First, serotonin directly affects the lungs (my assumption is that is causing more of a parasympathetic response). Second, loss of O2 is required for serotonin production, so if physical obstructions block O2 flow, serotonin production is diminished. Third, if a pre-existing low-serotonin condition caused characteristic afternoon and evening carb craving, increased weight could easily result, contributing to obstructed breathing. http://tinyurl.com/3kh4m6 Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Your information is a bit off.....Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and does not " directly affect the lungs " . There are studies reguarding apnea and serotonin. Please seach the net....

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi , I have sleep apnea and have been using a breathing machine for several years now but it has no effect on my PSSD. The most common sympton of sleep apnea is excessive tiredness during the day and wanting to sleep alot. Unless you have these symptoms it isn't likely you have sleep apnea although it can cause the problems you listed. > > I was wondering, does anyone on here have Sleep Apnea. I am going to get tested for it next week. > > I heard it can really reduce your ability to focus, cause memory loss, and can even have some sexual side effects. I am not saying PSSD does not exist, I am fully confident it does. But I was thinking that perhaps this could be contributing to my mental struggles with memory, focusing, depression etc. My father has it and my grandmother did as well. > > Anyhow just something some of you may want to get checked out if you have 'brain fog' and feel like your memory has gotten worse. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
