(UPPP) for short.



Fudge it all!!

I can't even pronounce the damn word.
But I'm seriously considering it.

In the past year, my snoring has gotten horrid. I wake myself up and God help Steve. He wakes me up all the time.

Looking back over my life there were clues like dozens of wrecks I wrote off as be a distracted driver. (and speeding in some cases)

Daytime sleepiness, that I wrote off for being a night shift worker.
It’s become very bad this year.

It could also explain some of my weight gain.

But as of the last 6 months it's has come to the for front as lack as energy, mental fatigue, general, ill-directed angst, and piss poor sleep patterns.

UPPP is considered one of the most painful surgeries





The up side I’ll be able to give serious deep throat after I’m all healed up.
And could avoid be dependant on a CPAP the rest of my life.

You should get checked for sleep apnea as well Gwen. Puts a huge strain on your heart. Have you tried remedies like breathe-rite, mouthguards, etc?

Have your house checked for mold. I'm serious. Asthma does not just get progressively worse, something is triggering it.

I believe any surgery should be the last resort because they often come with side effects or complications. As an asthmatic I also have had to deal with things that make it worse and I usually find it is environmental - I have a big problem with dust mites, pollen, diesel smoke and ozone from vehicles. Oh yeah - beer and wine not so good either : (

The generally bad air here in Sacramento (7th worst in the country) and the Central Valley is really bad for me but my job is here at the moment so I try to deal with it. I l live on the southwest side where the air is better, workout early in the day in the summer, etc. Yoga helps, a good diet helps, losing weight helps...

When I lived here previously, in the 90's, my symptoms gradually got worse until I moved closer to the coast, to the SF Peninsula where there is much cleaner air. My asthma virtually disappeared for the 10 years I was there. Now back in Sac for 3 years the symptoms are gradually returning, so I am hoping to be out of here by Fall.

Maybe you can look at the environmental factors, your diet, etc, and find a workable solution. Wish you the best Gwen - I have enjoyed all your journals and the contributions to this site.

We've had a bunch fo the "chinese drywall" cases here.

It's pretty easy to check, go up in the attic and and pull away some insulation from the ceiling and look at the labels on the back of the drywall. I'm sure there are some references on the net about who made what when.

It was '06-'07 when most of that ocured. Due to severe shortages, suppliers imported it from China to meet the demand.

Gwen,

Sometimes along with the obvious trauma to the spine, rib movement is compromised by resultant joint dysfunction at the rib/vertebra and/or rib/sternum articulations. That can inhibit normal respiration movement of the ribs causing decreased lung functional volume. Something to check into before anyone cuts.

Also as a society many of us slowly become more "scapula breathers", with less rib and diaphragm use.

I see both of these situations in my practice. Maybe you might want to find someone in your area could help with this.

Hopefully none of the shit from China had asbestos in it! It's a big problem down here to say the least. It's a nasty thing to get rid of and f%cks yer lungs up real bad.

BTW Shogs, I bet your dentist drives a new Porsche!!!
