OT:Sleep Apnea | Arthritis Information

Share
 

My wife has brought to my attention recently that I do some funny things in my sleep.  Now I knew that I tend to snore kind of loud that's no news.  But she said she has noticed over the last week or so that when I inhale right at the top of my breath in my stomach muscles kind of quiver or twitch.  This sounds like sleep apnea to me and if it is, hey I'm not upset it's becoming pretty common.  And the prednisone has caused me to pick up a lot of extra fat around the face, neck and shoulders. (exogenous cushings) 

 
How many other folks here have sleep apnea is what I wonder.  And do you use the CPAP or the little mouth piece thing that they can make for you?
