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

"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,…"

"Hi Jonathan, well see my nose is blocked a lot, so I mouth breath which really sucks a lot more moisture and makes my mouth dry. So I put humidity on maximum, which makes for condensation at the mask end, which becomes a demonic reed instrument.Now…"
ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy
HelloI have an NHS issued ResMed AirSense 10 with heated humidifier. In the last couple of weeks, it's developed an annoying noise, when I inhale. It bothers me a little and my partner a lot! I sometimes get problems if the water container in the…See More
"Hi
My first question is why is condensation forming? I very occasionally get some condensation, may be once a month, but I can quickly run a finger around the inside of the mask, and wipe it away. I use a nasal mask, with the humidifier…"

"Hi John. Thanks for the compliment as I do my best popping on here, but it's difficult due to us now supporting 25k+ patients at the charity. To be honest, the forum is quiet because most people seem to prefer Facebook and forums aren't as…"

GSD is our boy Sam who is a rescue dog and we have had for almost 4 years now.
His favourite play thing is my sisters dog ... Westie - little girl called Cooper (yes I know a boys name, but brother in law wouldn't call her Volvo, so guess his favourite car?)
Coooper is a terrorist of the 1st degree and leads Sam into trouble. She has him wrapped around her little paw lol.
I will try and find a pic of them together.
Hi Andy, thank you for a lovely welcome ... love the hoseheads lol.
now I am trying to remember how I changed my page ... will have to go and look and come back :) xx
That will be brilliant thanks Andy and a great opening to the site, as I shall be spreading the word properly in a couple of days so more folk will be joining us. Thanks for your support and help :)
Hope you sleep well too!
That's great Andy, and folks on here will welcome your help, and a forum is also a very good way for people to learn more about their 'condition'. We all need to support each other, although it won't be too long before we are joined by friends and family as the UK is getting more aware of it.
Great that you're a HGV driver too, as drivers are under the 'wrong' impression that they'll lose their job if they get diagnosed. You'll probably also know much more about the DVLA rules and regs than the rest of us.
