Thanks for that Mrs H..I sort of understand that now.

are there any members that have problems with OSA and the treatment not working well? I have been diagnosed only a few months ago and I'm struggling using the cpap, ie. waking up panicking as i cant breathe properly and taking it off. just wondered if anyone has the same problems.
thanks

I suffer from a mixture of sleep apnoea, was diagnosed in 2001, the first year was hell, finding the right mask, machine etc. my sleep nurse was fantastic and I did get through it, though I take if off in my sleep, switch it off and go walkies, but that's something different, but I would say stick at it.

Thanks Mags. I still find it very hard to wake up in the mornings even if i've had the cpap on for quite a few hours in the night. But I always wake up without it on as I must take it off in my sleep. I will carry on with it but god knows how long it will take to feel the benefits of wearing it.
