Take Action for Sleep Apnoea Please
**IMPORTANT REQUEST**
ng the comparatively low awareness of OSA there is, both among the general public as well as healthcare professionals. It also asks them to take appropriate action to draw attention to OSA in governments and parliaments across the UK.
Even if you don't have Sleep Apnoea, please fill it in and share this important action.
Thank you!
Here's the link to the form www.blf.org.uk/osa-action

Sent it yesterday, got a reply from David Liddington MP's office a couple of hours later saying he had written to the Dept of Health.

Wow, that's brilliant news Bill and the first I've heard of a response. This is very encouraging, and I would urge everyone to pass the link to all their family and friends.

Just heard of another person who has received an email back from her local MSP, Mr Mike MacKenzie who is pleased to support this.

Hi,
I wrote a paragraph about my experiences of OSA to my MP, and appended the British Lung Foundation's form letter. I received a prompt reply through the post (attached).

Hi Kath
I recieved a letter from Karl Turner the MP for Hull East Costituency to inform me has written a letter to the Secretary of State For Health in support. Letter came end of last week so I am sure yours will follow soon as we have the same MP.

Hmm.... how come you got a letter before me? He'd better send me one as well

I just received a letter from Angela Eagle MP, with a copy of the letter she sent to "The Secretary of State for Health" Jeremy Hunt.
Kath, I have emailed you a copy of them.

CPAP Total Face Mask

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
