I read the Bluesky thread just now. Isn't the idea that the symptoms in both OSA and snoring would be caused by lack of oxygen while sleeping? I'm not sure I'm seeing what's important about whether it's distinct full apneas or constant narrowness that causes the symptoms. Unrefreshing sleep is...

I see that all but one in the active group had an AHI of at least 5, so at least mild sleep apnea, and two had severe sleep apnea. Out of all the objective measures, it looks like change in AHI was the most significant change compared to sham, which matches with the idea that the CPAP is mainly...

My doctor also had me trial a CPAP (well APAP, which adjusts the pressure automatically) for a few months after a sleep study showed very mild sleep apnea. It made no difference in any way to ME/CFS or anything else.

Interesting idea. I wonder if the CPAP being turned on at night might wake some people up and alert them to it. Or if any people just wake up naturally a few times and would know. Doesn't look like they mention using this method in this study anyway though. Looking at the study, it says at...

I think this is the study: Inspiratory airflow dynamics during sleep in veterans with Gulf War illness: a controlled study (2011, Sleep and Breathing) So is the point that you think CPAP is the treatment for all these conditions? I saw this other study in the Twitter thread: The effect of...

@nataliezzz I know it can be upsetting to get strong disagreement with your ideas like this. I just want to recommend presenting more specific and organized arguments. It's hard for me, and it sounds like for others, to follow the line of thought here. It's a ton of things at once, and spread...

Also to consider how much rates changed over time, it looks like they were both at around 30% in 1990 from charts on Wikipedia. So Japan had less of a decrease in smoking over time. Japan, United Kingdom

Yeah, I assume a lot of this data is just showing where there is improved diagnosis. But the opposite trend in Japan might point to them doing something right.

This article basically seems to say there's no practical difference between MDs and DOs today except where they tend to work and some techniques DOs learn that most don't end up using.

The description of Becca in the teaser sounds really severe. She was transported from the clinic in a stretcher, and she hasn't left her bed in 644 days after that. She had to have the last tiny light on a CO detector covered to be in total darkness.

Even if it's not common, there are people that have recovered from years of ME/CFS, probably including some pretty severe cases. So they could answer this question of how their physical rehabilitation went. I suspect most people could just start moving around and be fine, as long as they don't...
