Skinner Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:09:06 +0000 http://doctorstevenpark.com/?p=2890#comment-14354 I noticed this problem with my tongue years before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I knew it mean something was wrong and in fact I had associated it with my sleep. On nights where I felt worse the next day the scalloping seemed worse. I brought this up with several doctors who all thought I was nuts to think there was some connection between my sleep and my tongue... I'm glad to find out years later that in fact there was a connection and logical explanation. -James I noticed this problem with my tongue years before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea.

I've often wondered why, when few of the people I know seem to have it. I have also had two sleep studies done over the last decade, and have been diagnosed with moderate OSA.
