"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"

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.
