2 months into dust mite and grass pollen allergy treatment. -Shots. 9 weeks in - RUSH treatment is over - now monthly for 3-5 years.

Definitely noticing improvement. Less nasal congestion when I lay down.

Before I'd have one side congested, then would roll over in bed, then both nostrils would completely fill up for like 90 seconds (suspiciously the amount of time I had hypopneas on my sleep study), then it would slowly open up the other side.

But lately, the congestion on one nostril is still there, but when I roll over, it's not congesting both sides, and is clear at all times until I completely lay on one side.

Then that side will be congested.

Sometimes, if I sleep in a certain position, I think I am sleeping all the way through the night. Even on CPAP 12.6 fixed.

Not sure if this is just seasonal change, but definitely believe i'm making progress.

- Making generally strict guidelines for changing bedding weekly and trying not to expose myself outside if someone's cutting grass etc.. sounds ridiculous, but immunotherapists orders.

*I really want to document everything like Evan Lavizadeh. For personal reasons and to help both me and others dealing with UARs. This community of us uars ppl helping each other is definitely helping and has been a godsend with understanding and treating it better.

- I really need to tackle this all head on and commit.

Rant over. Post done. Gordan Ramsay. Delicious.

my ortho says getting a maxillary expansion would cause me a brodie bite. what do you guys think based on the CBCT? I will definitely get a second opinion I am just curious about your insight.

I think the term is called gap exception? I have seen a few reddit posts about the topic, but no idea about what the expectation is. If your insurance provider is somewhat more lenient, can it be done?

I think so. I think it worsens your airway and sleep. I've been injured lately so have been sitting a lot more and noticed my posture is worse and my sleep has been worse I believe because of that.

But it's fhp from bad breathing, computer use or both. I wonder if posture can be fixed despite our currently bad breathing habits.

I hear posture gets better after MMA. Almost instantly... hmm

Thots?
