Resource Preventing Sleep Apnea Therapy was Miracle Cure for Me

Mary Jane Reyes submitted a new resource:

Provent Sleep Apnea Therapy was miracle cure for me - My self-diagnosed ME was perhaps entirely due to sleep apnea

Read more about this resource...

 

So then you misdiagnosed yourself and in fact you have apnea and not ME?

It can be bought OTC so anyone can try it.

 

I just cured my apnea in a week of the Dr Terry Wahl's autoimmune paleo diet.

 

All grains apart from one serving twice a week, adding a huge amount of vegetables excluding potatoes, and grass fed meat. I think it was the low carbs that did it.

 

Dairy was causing my apnea (diagnosed in a sleep lab). It makes the back of my throat swell just enough to cause obstruction lying down.

 

Oh yes l forgot to say that l was already off dairy but had been breaking that now and again.

 

Just saw sleep doctor and she said it might not have cured my sleep apnea but having positive sinus pressure while sleeping helped. I did not find it on sale OTC - will have to check on this! Thank you.

 

Just google it. Medical supply houses had it.

 

What a great story! Wouldn't we all love to find out we didn't have ME, but had a relatively easily treated condition instead? It's the thing of PWME dreams.

@Mary Jane Reyes, would you mind listing your ME-like symptoms -- the ones that cleared up with this sleep apnea treatment?
That might help other patients in your situation assess whether sleep apnea may be their major problem. In addition, ME patients with sleep apnea could see which of their symptoms might clear up with this kind of therapy.

ETA: A more careful read of the resource lists the symptoms that completely cleared up with this treatment: (let me know if I got any of this wrong)

• brain fog
• mold sensitivity
• daytime sleepiness
• exhaustion
• short-term memory problems
• head pressure

Except for the mold sensitivity, these are pretty common poor sleep symptoms, so sleep apnea as a cause makes sense. I'm sorry your GP didn't have the wits to suggest sleep apnea with those symptoms rather than leaving you struggling for years thinking you had a serious, very difficult to treat disease. Sheesh!

 

I've been searching, and every vendor in my Google hits requires a prescription. Offshore pharmacies don't carry it.

 

Let me see if I can find it. I thought I saw one that said no rx necessary. If I forget remind me.

 

Ok this is what happened. I googled provent without rx

A site came up that said no RX but I did not go to it. So my bad

Here is the site. It had something else that was conpared to this but I didn't read it.

Have you tried Mexico?

Pretend to buy some. The next page says that a prescription is required. Sneaky, right?

 

There is a off brand, haven't tried it. Theravent. It is OTC from their site.
