However, since getting effective CPAP treatment, there have been no further events. The event that led to my diagnosis of sleep apnea may have been caused by peripheral neuropathy, although nothing was demonstrated during the various tests I had – B12 levels were normal. like, WHY is aspirin so helpful? because it reverses some of the negative effect of SBD? also makes you wonder about all the things that Aspirin is good for. my husband has this and I had read about using Ginkgo for it he is much better on the Ginkgo! well Ginkgo has blood thinning properties. this might also be the mechanism for Raynauds. I found a study a while back about how migraine can be triggered by hypercoagulation this may be a mechanism as we know SBD can cause hypercoag. and I can tell a difference between sleep deprivation from CPAP which doesn’t work for me, and not using anything which does something bad to my brain and it takes a week or more to recover from it, similar to what Dr. I suspect there is a relationship, just as there is a correlation to migraine which is a neurologic event in the brain. my sciatica which started at 8 months pregnant and finally went somewhat dormant after a 40 lb weight loss, started coming back as I gained weight, (half of it back now) but now seems to be gone, after SBD tmt. what I am starting to wonder about is if SBD can cause neuropathic pain also. Yes, I think I mentioned that my peripheral neuropathy seems to have gone away with treating my SBD. How many of you with sleep apnea have peripheral neuropathy? If so, did it ever go away after sleep apnea treatment? Since it’s well known that diabetics have similar issues with peripheral neuropathy, and obstructive sleep apnea is a major risk factor for insulin resistance and elevated sugar levels, could it be possible that an underlying sleep-breathing process could also aggravate neuropathies in diabetics? Additionally, if peripheral nerves are affected, why can’t it affect your brain’s nerves as well?

Anecdotally, I’ve had a handful of patients tell me that their cold or numb hands and feet got better after treating obstructive sleep apnea. It could also explain Raynaud’s phenomenon, where your hands, feet, or other distal extremities can feel cold. This could explain various numbness and tingling complaints that are rampant in the sleep-breathing disorders population. They also mentioned that chronic intermittent hypoxia is a major aggravator of nerve conduction abnormalities. The authors studied nerve function in the arms of patients with sleep apnea and found abnormal conduction measures which improved after CPAP treatment. Here’s a study that shows how obstructive sleep apnea can cause peripheral neuropathy.
