"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."
Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
PLEASE USE CPAP EVERYTIME YOU SLEEP
This is a very sad day, as I have learnt that a lovely young 36 year old fellow Sleep Apnoea Sufferer who I used to speak regularly with on Twitter passed away in the early hours of this morning. She was suffering from a stuffy nose and finding CPAP hard to use, so unfortunately left it off last night. Her devastated fiance has asked that I pass on this news to ensure existing sufferers keep safe and use their CPAP every night, and he wants this news passing on to help raise awareness of sleep apnoea to the undiagnosed.
Lisa was a lovely lady and did everything in her own power to raise sleep apnoea awareness. She did the same for arthritis, as her own 8 year old daughter was born with JIA (Junior Idiopathic Arthritis).
Rest In Peace Lisa x
