Kath Hope replied to Chris Vesey's discussion Insurance"We have had confirmation several times about this in our Facebook Group from sleep technicians and nurses, who state that the machines are covered by the NHS' insurance."
Alison replied to Bethany's discussion Help for the hubby"Hi Bethany,
Just a suggestion but has anyone mentioned narcolepsy?"
Sleep2snore replied to Bethany's discussion Help for the hubby"The two things that come to mind is diabetes and low blood pressure. Though I think they would have checked for diabetes, a sudden drop in blood pressure is more difficult to catch. Has he had his heart checked? Also there is a…"
Bethany replied to Bethany's discussion Help for the hubby"Thank you for the welcome.

Kath Hope replied to Bethany's discussion Help for the hubby"Welcome to our forum Bethany, but so sorry to read of what you're both going through. Glad your husband's severe sleep apnoea got picked up finally and at least you know he's on good treatment for that. However, it's…"
