One point I would like to make is, everyone’s club foot is not the same severity as you know. Every one’s experiences are different because of it. Every one’s level of pain, structure and mobility of the foot is different. So, I am focusing on only my experiences which my or may not apply to you. I have a severely deformed and (corrected?) right club foot.
I am announcing this just to inform you of an added health problem I have and also I know some other people with club feet with the same problem. I was diagnosed with a sleep problem called Hypopnea. The lungs do not pull in enough air at night while sleeping. The doctor said I have a nerve mussel disorder in my lungs causing it. It was most likely the same nerve mussel as in my club foot. The diagnoses was made July 27, 1996. This was a major disorder that that affected me severely from birth. My symptoms were, headaches, dreaming of dying during the night, constantly day dreaming during the day, (day dreaming is level one of the four levels of sleep), lack of attention while sitting, poor memory, poor performance in school, always thinking I was dying in the morning. All symptoms are the results of lack of oxygen and lack of deep sleep.
Hypopnea can only be diagnosed by a Sleep doctor or sleep clinic your family doctor can not diagnose it. An over night sleep test must be done. Parents please watch for other nerve/mussel disorders in your child that may have a club foot, disorders that can not be seen. All those with similar systems please get to a sleep doctor or sleep clinic to be tested. I thought the way I felt was normal, it was my first day on a CPAP system that my life changed. It was the first time I ever woke up with the feeling I was going to live. Any questions my special e-mail address is scott.daryl123@gmail.com
