Well i went last week to see the sleep apena consultant he explained all about sleep apena Ann's what options i have. He showed me the machine and how it works. I tried the nasel mask first which was ok then tried the full mask, that wasn't for me made me feel claustrophobic. So i went home with machine and to see him in 2/3 months. Tried the machine for the 1st time this Monday. It took a bit of getting used to it, people who use one will know what i mean. It's now Friday and things are going ok. Will keep u all update. 😀🤞

I know that you'v always got a lot on Debbs with hosptial appointments and so on. I'v been quite busy myself lately too. Keep going with that mask it should help. I think some guy on big brother had one on and it worked great for him. thats if it was the same thing. They gave him it while he was on the show. Hope your legs are feeling better now with all that kicking you were doing. at least now you will get rested while you sleep. you make me laugh sometimes debbs. speak soon. love grace xoxo🤗

I have been wearing my nose mask for a few years now with no great issues. I occasionally breath through my mouth and, apparently, sound like Darth Vader!! The full mask was no good for me as I have a full beard!

Hubby says i sound like a flubbering whale know what he means it makes me jump and end up waking up. I find having a drink.helps as my throat and mouth get very dry and i feel as though im gagging. But think it can happen with masks i have copd. They have given me another mask and so far its settled. Good luck with the mask and sleeping. Had mine a year now. Ps. It is trial and errorveithbthe masks but you get there in the end. My onlybproblem is putting itbon. Got arthritis in both shoulders so have to wait for hubby to come up.
