Hi @Meowmy @StuF @Bill16 @SmilingGecko  drs good and bad. Head scans , yes sinus still there, nothing untoward though.

Sleep study=> Severe Sleep Apnea stopped breathing for 95 seconds once , stopped breathing 12x per hour while asleep

Got sick cert for Centrelink to give me some breathing space with DES they claim its up to me to sort out exemption from mutual obligation.

Woah @TAB 

No good regards sleep apnea. Maybe that’s why you have been feeling tired? I guess they will get you on cpap machine?

hey @Bill16 hows it going mate? not much happening here, a quiet day.

In my case sleep apnoea was caused by ethanol. Looked up if alcohol causes sleep apnoea and it does, it causes the airways to collapse. Dont know if it can be rectified by just giving up alcohol though

Knew someone on facebook with it and used to be an alcoholic and as far as I know she still had sleep apnoea even though she gave up the drink @TAB 

But that sounds quite severe the length of time and amount of times you stopped breathing. It must be very distressing for you. Where to from here? Has your doctor indicated what is going to happen next? One of those face machines you got to sleep with.

You still got to sort out Centrelink.

At least nothing came up on the brain scan

got to ring people who gave me test gear think @Oaktree
