~What immunity have we with a reduced steroid intake for our PMR? ~
I think the on-going sinus issues has been exacerbated by breathing through mask on the
CPAP
machine used for obstructive sleep apnoea diagnosed Nov 2015. I use the humidifier in machine which has helped.

Lupus and Sleep apnea
Please can anyone help I have been given a
CPAP
machine and I have tried 4 masks each keep lifting off my face, so no seal and the air pumps hard into my face, persevering but so so tired. Worried as the Lupus has damaged my right lung, could that be stopping the machine inflating my windpipe?

Teenager started xolair
She has had 18months of 5-6 weekly admissions with very brittle asthma, needing Aminophillyn and
Cpap
each time, which has turned her life and ours upside down so we are desperately hoping Xolair helps her.

sleep apnoea and driving license
Hi there, I've been diagnosed with sleep apnoea (OSA) since oct 2015 and been on a
CPAP
machine since nov 2015. I have notified the DVLA as per the advice of my sleep apnoea clinic and been told by the DVLA that I have to return my driving license and have it changed to a 3 yearly license instead.

Introduction from AF sufferer - since 2012
This is great as the treatment is not the most convenient -
CPAP
- for those that do not know you wear a face or nose mask with pumped air to keep your air way open whilst asleep. SA means many times during the night the sufferer stops breathing. It is still not well known as a condition.

COPD & CPAP
Am I wrong to use the
CPAP
undiagnosed? What are the risks? Are my stats from the oximeter normal - everything I read suggests that such low levels for so long could be doing damage to organs?

Interstitial lung disease with no full diagnosis
Even with the
cpap
it still wasn't good. The doctors decided I needed to go on a respirator so they could do a flush and some tests and I was on the ventilator for 11 days in ITU.

Living with PV for 47 years after father diagnosed days earlier.
I have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea for several years so therefore use of a
CPAP
is in my daily routine. 4. My oxygen level was low so for several months I used O2 throughout the day. 5. In the last couple years I began having further breathing issues and chest pains. 6.

Caring for a person with AF
She has a
CPAP
machine for her sleep apnoea which is supposed to help with her AF, does anyone have any experience of this? As you can probably tell I am more than a little stressed with coping with my feelings about her diagnosis.

They have both come off their ventilators and are both on
CPAP
(a continuous supply of pressurised oxygen). Both are having some of mummies milk, Poppy is taking in a bit more than Holly and she is off her TPN and lipids (extra nutrients needed to supplement the girls diets).

Home Nebuliser plus CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
CPAP
every night during sleeping hours. How many are on a combination like this. When traveling by air, have to advise airline well in advance to ensure machines and any medications needed, are excluded from weight allowance.

Thyroid
I have a
CPAP
mask to wear when I sleep which helps to keep my airways clear as the growth is obstructing my airway. I wanted to know if I can get a copy of my CT scan, which I can show my family so they understand better what the problem is. Can anyone help please? Thanks.
