Yes a little knowledge can be dangerous, as I discovered years ago when I was young and ended up having to give away the thick medical book that scared me silly, thinking I had all sorts wrong with me.  However, a little knowledge back then (even from my GP) might have diagnosed me years earlier with sleep apnoea Perhaps sleep apnoea wasn't even in the medical book, as it was a long time ago!

Hi Philip, Just joined the forum. Are you with Nevill Hall? They are fine, but seem to be more interested in the machine! General questionaire and that's it! Hence the importance of Kath's forum. Hope all well.

Soft Cap

some time ago I was told that Hope2Sleep was researching a replacement for the discontinued Soft Cap.. as I have seen nothing to indicate moving forward on this, would I be right in assuming you decided it is no longer relevant?See More
