However, it costs nothing to ask the question, maybe…"

John Wilkinson replied to The SleepGuide Crew's discussion Welcome to our Forum - Feel Free to Introduce Yourself Here."Hi Frankie,
I have been a hosehead now for about 14 months and I too had severe sleep apnea. I too struggled with my mask and head sores but my persistence has paid off. My apneas are now down to 9 from 44. My mind and memory is much sharper and I…"

Hi, With the help of a hope2sleep screening test indicating I may have moderate sleep apnea, I am hopefully going to get my GP to finally agree to refer me to a sleep specialist (I have been trying for 6 months). I have some concerns over how long…See More

Hi dave , i have the same experience as you "left to get on with it".I am on my 4th or 5th mask now and still find i cant sleep all night with it on, i was having 60 apneas an hour when first tested. Ihave been given results from cpap machine once, so i currently dont know how many apneas an hour i am getting now. Last visit i was given another mask to try and was out the door in 10 minutes, not a very good experience mate.
