    Hi tkachev Thanks for your link about snoring and Arthritis.

    This made me chuckle as my hubby snores but I am the one that is suffering with RA :roll:

    So I suppose it could be true what they say. lol

    I never snored until R.A was well established. Now it wakes me up and I have a constant dry throat so I'm struggling to breathe at times and sleep with raised pillows.

    I don't expect you will be the only on Sheila :lol:

    People say I snore but I don't believe them!

    I say I have Arthritis and people don't believe me! :)

    Could be something in this story!

    in some ways. i believe that there is a truth in that report. if you dont breathe, then body will panic and autoimmune system spring into action. ive read more crazy and absurd which has turned out to be true

    Colin, I think I am no longer with us too, given the percentages, have Arthur, COPD, heart disease, to mention but three. I snore like a warthog apparently, oh dear, I give up, there is no hope. :roll:

    Now this is really interesting reading.

    As I am currently having a bad flare up at the moment and
    my husband says I have been snoring heavily at night.

    I wonder if the 2 are connected? lol

    Aren't snoring and sleep apnoea different things? I thnk that with SA you do 'stop' breathing but snoring is caused by one of the palates (soft or hard, I can never remember) relaxing and blocking the airway. It is possible to be a snorer without arthritis, equally it is possible to be a snorer with arthritis. Mr DD is the former, I am the latter. I would like to know why I don't wake myself up, that's much more of a mystery than why I have arthritis! :lol: DD
