"Hi
The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"

Today's event was a great success, and both speakers were very good. Just as importantly was listening to how many OSA sufferers had gained a lot from the meeting, and getting together with others. There were lots of people I spoke to who needed so much help, and if only they were on the internet they could have had this help a long time ago on this forum and on others. Yet another reason why these support groups are invaluable. It was lovely to meet 'in the flesh' a few of you today too, and I hope I can meet many more of you at events closer to where you live. Well done to the St James Group organisers, as I know first-hand just how much work goes on behind the scenes planning these events.

Many thanks to those that arranged this event as I found it a most informal informative time. It allayed some of my concerns and gave me advice that was new and refreshing to hear.

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…"
