To sleep or not to sleep!

[geordie87]

Hi abers, this is probably not the right place to be on ,but i dont really know who else to ask-my lovely husband is upstairs -snoring like it is some olympic sport!. though on a serious note he has always snored it seems a lot worse since he has been diagnosed with an over active thyroid. He is on all sorts of medication,and also has trouble with an eye protruding, bless him! he is such an easy going person, but i hate to see him this way, although i would give my right arm to join him-it just aint gonna happen while he is making all that row! Any one got any advice on snoring please! or what to do while he sleeps and i dont!

well, if you're awake anyway, join us on the night shift!!

As for the snoring, does it make any difference if he is lying on his back?...if so, you could try sewing a ping pong/tennis ball to the back of his top so he would automatically go back to lying on his side if he rolled over.

You could also ask the doc for a nasal spray, as it can help clear mucus from the back of the nose/throat to relieve snoring - which is often associate with lots of medication - also hayfever!

If that doesn't work, its either the spare room or you could put a pillow over his face!!

Hi Geordie..whenever my husband starts to snore,usually because he is lying on his back,I have found that if I move him onto his side,the noise greatly lessens!!

[jacko50]

when i can't sleep because of the wife snoring i always try to roll her on her side as the noise is cut down greatly like lindapinda says, i give her a dig in the ribs if she is hard to roll over ,this gives me a certain amount of pleasure, it makes her jump six inches across the bed and she stops snoring for about five minutes ,seriously she is so noisy snoring you wouldn't believe it.

It sounds like he needs to go and see his GP and ask to be referred to an ENT surgeon, who will advise you further.

In some cases, surgery is required to the soft palate, even removing the uvula(the little dangly piece at the back of the throat).

His eye portruding is due to a build up of fat at the back of it, caused by the thyroid problem.

Hope all goes well for you, best of luck.

[geordie87]

Jacko50 sorry but i dont believe your dear wife snores we lovely creatures just dont do that! lol!

[geordie87]

Philtaz thanks for your reply, we tried everything -even going private the private appointment came through 10days after the nhs appt! At one of his appointments he was rushed in and put on an intensive course of steroids through a drip!,and also told that he could potentially go blind,though his sight hasnt deterioated he still struggles yet at the same copes really well x

geordie, i would not have believed it thirty three years ago when i was in the first flush of love but time takes its toll and she sounds like a pnumatic drill training school, also i had never seen sloggi's untill one day a few months after we were married and then all of a sudden out of the blue these huge pants started to appear and i asked what they were, she said sloggi's get used to them so the last time i saw a decent (if you excuse the expression ) pair of nickers was 1975.

Mr. Puss says that I snore, but I dont believe him, I would never do such a thing.

[geordie87]

last night i actually recorded my snoring man on our digital camera i keep playing it back to myself to justify my moaning, i actually feel really bad about moaning and dont even know if i can play it back to him when he comes in from work !-Puss i dont believe we women snore i call it purring! especially in your case! lol x

[bigmamma]

Hi again geordie , pleased you got some sleep eventually.
Don't know if you're going to play it back to him after work but , if you do , can your digital camera hook up to either your tv or your computer so that you can play it back with a good deal of surround sound from big speakers !!!
