<p>That is great news. I tried again to message you but it said "You can't send a message until Beany Lad accepts your friend request." I can send you an unused nasal mask but it is unwise to quote addresses or private email addresses on this forum. If you have got a plan just go for it, there will obviously be ups and downs but I am afraid that is part of the journey, you will get there and be able to live the life you wish.</p>

<p>Hi Eric</p>
<p></p>
<p>many thanks for your advice. Believe it or no after posting my story last night I think definitely managed to have the best night so far using the mask. After dropping off I did not find myself with a dry throat for the first time. I was very aware I seemed to automatically breath through my nose only which has made an enormous change. When I did eventually wake up, I removed the mask. I assumed it was time to wake up at 6.30am. I actually did not know what the time…</p>

<p>many thanks for your advice. Believe it or no after posting my story last night I think definitely managed to have the best night so far using the mask. After dropping off I did not find myself with a dry throat for the first time. I was very aware I seemed to automatically breath through my nose only which has made an enormous change. When I did eventually wake up, I removed the mask. I assumed it was time to wake up at 6.30am. I actually did not know what the time was but it did feel like I had slept through the night for the 1st time since beginning with this CPAP machine almost 2 months ago. If I have to just buy a nasal type mask I shall go ahead & do that. </p>
<p>I find it quite hard to get my head around that this is a condition that must have begun many years ago which I guess like all other suffers we had no idea we had it. It does explain a lot re the tiredness though</p>

<p>Hi, I hope you read this tonight as I think I can help you. I tried to message you but we have to be friends first so my request will end up in your inbox. My first trials were at The Leicester General way back in the 1980's when sleep apnea was unknown and although it was in an NHS hospital the trials were private and costly. I have used a variety of automatic machines since and every conceivable mask but settled on a nasal mask. I think this would be best for you too even if you are…</p>
<p>Hi, I hope you read this tonight as I think I can help you. I tried to message you but we have to be friends first so my request will end up in your inbox. My first trials were at The Leicester General way back in the 1980's when sleep apnea was unknown and although it was in an NHS hospital the trials were private and costly. I have used a variety of automatic machines since and every conceivable mask but settled on a nasal mask. I think this would be best for you too even if you are slightly claustrophobic. I never did take much notice of the sleep clinics with regard to masks as you don't need a prescription and I was working in America for a few years where they are much cheaper so I accumulated quite a few.</p>
