Sleep Apnea, Seizures And Narcolepsy
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have sleep apnea and use either a cpap or bipap? I know when undiagnosed and left untreated you have headaches, possibly seizures, shortness of breath etc? Treatment for the severe sleep apnea has been started on me, which helped my headaches and a lil bit of the exhaustion which in turn helped my mood swings.

I'm almost off the gabapentin and although I hadn't thought about what is next, the new doctor offered LDN. I said I would think about it.

Has Anyone Tried Low Dose Naltrexone?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor is recommending a trial of this, and I am uncertain, as I have had either bad side effects, or poor results from most medications.

A MyFibroTeam Member
