Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
SASA conference and AGM 2012 to be held on Saturday 29th September.
For those of us in Scotland, the 2012 SASA conference is to be held in the Glasgow area. At the moment I have no further details, as to exact venue and who will be speaking. Last year the conference was held in Edinburgh. I found it a really interesting day. It was great to meet up with other Cpapers, look at new equipment and talk to sleep equipment reps.
I do know that SASA are on a drive to increase membership this year and to have more local groups meeting around Scotland. If you are interested in joining, the membership secretary is John Paul and contact details can be found on the web site.

Thanks for posting this Lisa, and if it's possible, I'd like to attend as it's a long time since I visited Scotland, so I'll make a note of this.
The next Support Group Meeting in East Yorkshire is the 24th May in Driffield, but I'll post further details when I have them nearer the time.

"Hi Nick thanks. Does it do the job and could you camp with it?"
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
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"
"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
"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."

"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,…"
"Did anyone tell you exactly what the anatomical issue is, Jonathan?"
"Can't say I know about this."
