Could this be the reason hubby is always asleep?

He could have an under active thyroid.

In DH's case it was diabetes that caused the constant sleeping.

Has he been tested for sleep apnoea? Whilst the kidney issue will undoubtably made him tired if he's constantly falling asleep and snoring it could well be sleep apnoea which my husband has.

Its good news the cancer has been treated successfully though - you must be very relieved.

Oh dear - I meant Lithium. I think he sometimes took Librium too.

ps the Librium was for bi-polar disease.

My ex had kidney damage from long term use of Lithium.
Evidently he was always tired and falling asleep.
He died in Jan. aged 82.
Best to ask his doctor pbbutterfly.

I haven't heard of that paperbackbutterfly (what a lovely name), and know someone who only has one after donating her other one. She is a very lively lady. Is your husband on any medication at all that might have a sleepy side effect?
