Sorry if I have this wrong, but didn't you start CPAP recently? What does your machine say your AHI is?
I've had cpap for a while. My most recent AHI is 8.0 and I'm having about 20 - 30 hyponeas per night. So I am in the "mild" sleep apnea category.
It's strange because I'm so tired all day and then I feel much better at night.
Have you looked at the data from your CPAP using Sleepyhead? Sounds like there might be more that can be done to improve your treatment.
I just found out from my new sleep doc that Modafinil is FDA approved for treating continuing daytime sleepiness for people with sleep apnea whether or not your on CPAP. I find it definitely helps the brain fog and fatigue.

Could be the HCG. Did you start a new bottle of cypionate? I had a similar episode when I started a new vial of cypionate from a different pharmacy than I usually used.
When most everyone is 120-140mg/week, 93mg is indeed, ridiculously low but I like what he have going on here between the two of us and I hope you'll keep trying.
My doctor just emailed that testosterone is too thick for insulin type needle?
Most guys will jump right back up again....as if they just missed a dose of AI.
I have heard cases where someone more ominous occurred, and things never got right again. Dr. Shippen told me one time about a guy who took a single 1mg tablet of Arimidex, and was trashed for a very long time. It's similar to the dreaded Post Finasteride Syndrome (PFS). Perhaps some epigenetic effect.
But please rest assured, such cases are extremely rare.
Im not 100 percent sure yet but I'm fairly certain I took too much arimidex and crashed my E2. I will be getting bloodwork on Thursday to confirm.
So I've been under a lot of stress lately and I think I accidentally took too much arimidex. I haven't felt this awful since before I started trt. I've never experienced brain fog like this. Feels like I have not slept in days even though I'm sleeping through the night. And I have a twitch in my left eye which is driving me absolutely crazy.
Just wondering in the event that it is a crash of E2, is there anything I can do to recover more quickly?
What kind of timeline am I looking at to bounce back?
Mine was down to 16. I know that isn't super low for everyone but it was for me. I felt terrible mentally and physically. Everything was an end of the world big deal and all of my joints hurt. I was told to simply DC the AI for one week and that was all it took. I felt better that week and was back to normal in less than 2. Then I started a lower dose. How did you end up taking too much? I have tried to take it to control symptoms but I have decided that I am not very good at knowing the difference between high and low E2. I guess some guys can but I just never know for sure and am constantly doubting myself. I have decided that a lab is the only way for me to know for sure what is going on with it. Good luck man.
CPAP, more specifically APAP, has absolutely improved my quality of life. When I was diagnosed, my AHI was only 15 if I recall. Not too terrible when compared to other, much more extreme, cases that others deal with.
Definitely took some getting used to. I would rip my mask off during the night for the first month or two. Eventually I got used to it, and now my machine an I are inseparable. I love it, and look forward to putting it on at night.
It's all about finding the best mask for you. There are a lot of bulky/uncomfortable masks on the market, but there are also quite a few good ones as well. The technology has come a very long way in recent years.
February 1st of this year I had done a Sleep Study, a home study is all my insurance wanted to pay for (cheap bastards). Anyway, it seems I have 12.9 episodes per hours, with the lowest blood oxygen level of 82%. This is bad I guess, anything below 90% will set off alarms at hospitals. I went into this thinking I had no sort of apnea, though I knew I did have some sort of sleeping issues. My follow up appointment I had to cancel due too work, I wish I had gone to it now. If someone averages 13 episodes per hour, is this really bad enough to prevent me from getting good sleep, and effect my quality of life? The past 5 years or so I've really deteriorated when it comes to quality of life. TRT has helped tremendously, but hasnt been the "cure all" I had hoped for. I am curious about quality of life after getting on a CPAP machine. Did you actually sleep better, did the sleep help your over all being, weight loss, any sort of benefits I would love to hear about. Can/will better sleep result in less anxiety ad or depression?
Thanks
