@taterjoy Hi, friend. Very interesting. Just like you, I have had overwhelming daytime fatigue and sleepiness for many years from about age 10. I snored occasionally, a big loud snort, and anyone around thought a bear was loose in the house and could not get out. Anyway, snoring is always secondary, so it is not snoring you need to worry about. There are many possible underlying causes of snoring and fatigue, and a good sleep study may put you on the track of some of them. Dead and dying Protein deposit diseases, Usually known as the Amyloidosis Family. They deposit bad protein chains in any tissue in the body, and interfere with tissue operating. Nerve, brain, muscle, ligaments, bones, plasma, serum, organs. Almost all persons who have sleep apnea have some form of Amy. It usually appears later in life, but teens and older are susceptible. Have SERUM FreeLiteChain and total daily urine protein tests done. Medicare has been paying for them. Any skin problems where the skin looks like it has been plowed one way, and then a cross-furrow at a 45 degree angle? or black spots on your toes or around your eyelids?
2nd, Diabetes. 3rd, asthma. 4th, environmental, such as radon, Round-Up. Household chemicals? Do you live near a chemical plant, dry cleaners, oil refinery, freeway, airport? 5. Have you had concussions or other brain or nerve or head injuries? How is your voice? Changing any? Raspy? Any x-rays of your lungs, heart, jaw, thyroid, goiter? Nodules on your airway or esophagus? Do you bruise easily? Any broken bones? Dental care needs? Eye problems? Kidney or urinary tract issues that could spread inflammation? See what I mean? There are many possible causes, and you just must keep sorting them out, and do not let some tin-horn doctor try to protect the disorder from the patient's medical care which you need.
