Hey Paula, Sounds like you're getting the hang of it. The camera up the nose doesn't sound too pleasant but I can think of worse things but we won't go there.... At least they are trying to make a difference by carrying out some investigative work. Must admit I used to snore the house down and my hubby says the sounds in the bedroom have now changed from heavy snoring with occassional silence to a hoover like sound (CPAP pump). Mind you he snores but doesn't stop breathing which is maybe just as well, it would be quite strange with both of us on CPAP!
Hope you get on ok with the camera inspection and they sort out your problem.
Let us know how you get on.....

Hey you did well Paula, it took me a couple of months to get used to the mask. I used to get so frustrated with it and on occassions I felt like I couldn't breath so reckon that must have been a slight panic attack. Now I can't sleep without it, just a pity I have to drag it with me whenever I'm staying overnight with family of friends. Great that you are staying positive, sounds like you are coping well.
