Do tongue exercises work ?
Hi,I saw a study on the internet in which OSA was alleviated with tongue exercises, and some UK medics recommend exercises - thinking of Mike Dilkes, but I spoke to a local consultant and he said there was no evidence that exercises work. Is there…See More
"Thank you for your thoughtful reply Kath. I still think the incisor filing sounds credible because moving my jaw forward a little, makes everything feel better in my throat and face, so it would be interesting to read about some cases. But as you…"
"Ha, that's typical John, as your GP would have been able to give you a good examination.
Regarding the conflicting advice you've been given regarding jaw surgery, that's very difficult. We've come across several people who have…"
"Hi Sally
You're right that we do have to keep a good cleaning regime with our CPAP and daily mask cleaning will help prevent leakage, as a lot of this is caused due to facial oils left behind on the mask cushion.
Resmed have recently published…"
Cleaning products advice please!
I’m looking for some cleaning advice but the existing threads here are quite old so I am starting a new one. I realise that I have been appallingly lax with cleaning my ResMed AirSense CPAP which I’ve had for over 3 years. I’ve only been doing it…See More
"Thank you for your reply Kath. Well, I sort of lucked out because my GP was an ENT specialist who started getting into my case but he went elsewhere after Covid came so that was that.Year ago my dentist wanted to fiddle with my teeth to allow my jaw…"
"Sorry for such a long delay to your question John, as we're inundated at the Hope2Sleep Charity (who run this group) at the moment. The reasons are not always given as a lot of sleep clinics are run by respiratory departments, yet with…"
"Hi Dee Dee.
I'm probably a bit late to this, but would be interested in the Airfit F20 Large if it's still available. Happy to make a donation to charity too.
Thank you. "
"Hi i haven't heard back from you in a while - are you still selling your things? i had replied to your email with further questions regarding postal insurance and packing . Did you receive that? "
For Sale: Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset
Resmed Airsense 10 AutosetI have a Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset that is surplus to my requirements. When I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnoea I received from the NHS a Resmed Escape S9 fixed pressure machine. With use I found my pressure…See More
Getting a precise diagnosis - scans ?
Hi all, so, OK I got a diagnosis of OSA and was given a CPAP machine.Finding out exactly what the problem is has not proven so easy. By exact problem I mean what the structural problem in my throat is - small jaw, blocked nose, big tongue, fat neck…See More
"Aha, hi Dee Dee I'd be interested in that Mirage FX if you still have it... ?"
"Hi Karen
Sorry but pleased as well to hear you've just been diagnosed, because once you're on CPAP you should start to feel so much better and should be protected from the many other conditions untreated sleep apnoea causes or exacerbates…"
"You're welcome Mark. I think we currently have about a 10 day waiting list, and as soon as you're at the top you'll be sent a link to complete the required COVID and health questions, and look forward to helping you again soon."
