Another sad story
I'm sure Kath would have got around to posting this sad story, it just makes me think how lucky we have been to be diagnosed.
James Gray Bolton
by Brenda
(Baton Rouge, LA)
He was my beautiful Irish man, blue eyes, Blond hair and a heart of gold! on the 12th of January he would have been 54 years,old!
He had sleep apnea he did not believe me'. He was the love of my life, strong, vibrant, life was in front of us!
He complained of headaches, stress, fatigue, and never stopped!!!!!
Sudden death from a stroke! I still don't believe he is gone but I know in my heart it was the sleep apnea that ultimately caused this pain in my heart!!!
I have a great need to let others know that unless untreated, you life will change forever.
Is there any way I can be involved with some kind of awareness....FOR ME MY LIFE IS CHANGED FOR EVER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED ,but there are no take backs!
I want to make people or men more aware. He was my soul mate, my life, my dreams, the breath that I breath, and he vanished!
I love you Gray!!!!

Thanks for posting this Terry. I hope the day comes when all people are tested for sleep apnoea in childhood, as a young adult and then again at a later stage in life. It's such a simple test, and could stop heart attacks and strokes, plus all the many other illnesses linked with sleep apnoea. It's not surprising that it causes so many other conditions, bearing in mind that 1/3rd of our lives is supposed to be spent in safe, healthy, restorative sleep. If this isn't happening, there are bound to be repercussions.

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

"Ha well it lasted a couple of days but started howling again. But it's a step in the right direction, just needs a bit more work."
"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"
