Sleep Apnoea

HWOMBWUWAE-G* is lucky as I consider him my night-time lullaby, you know, the provider of that lovely 'white noise'. Wot's that?? talk into the other ear, this one's deaf.

Seriously, I hope you feel heaps better real soon. SA is no fun at all for the sufferer and the sufferee who has to listen..... and occaisionally uses the elbow to good effect. (gently!!!! that is)

cheers
RR

Just a guess, but I bet your wife doesn't read over your shoulder ;) :D

RR,
now I'm a loyal Queenslander too, but paying out on Richard for living in South Australia is a bit low. ;) :D

Mnay thanks.

Hornet, SWMBO is a nurse and probablly cant help you with the finance side of your problem. If you still want contacts then Ill PM them to you once Im back home (on the job miles off the coast of Oz at present).

Might pay to delete your email from your postl....dont want it there for spammers to harvest. Ill PM info to you.

Cheers Martin

I suffered severly from sleep apnoea and it is no joke . Many times I stopped breathing at night . Always tired from 20 years of age . I suffer less now after stopping smoking but I still snore and dont get into proper sleep .

Its awful and tireing . I too can sleep anywhere , anytime . I once fell asleep while riding my motorcycle , only for a split second though thank God as I had a pillion passenger .

Ooo, wouldn't that be fun. The trouble with bikes is they tend to lie down to have a sleep with you :eek:

Ark, the tiredness. Going through the day feeling dead.

The CPAP machine seems to have got rid of the dead feeling. Funny thing is, I'm waking up with headaches - the mask isn't overly tight though it might still be that. Anyway, it's the weekend now but I'll be seeing the lovely lass handling the study next week - hopefully she'll be able to sort it out.

Arrr, I think it's okay Mick. Afterall, I pick on Queenslanders :D Besides, we allow you lot to have your little eccentricities :D

Yep, doing it myself but getting diagnosed was the hardest part. Went to a doc (quack,quack) ren years ago and all he could say was that at 28 y.o i was getting old and just get used to it....yeah right!!

Just started this week on CPAP. Interesting sensation when you open your mouth, what with the positive pressure. I have severe OSA but apart from the "have to get used to it" sensation, it gives the kids and my wife something to laugh at with my elongated nose.

Keep at it and hopefully your world as well as mine wont look so tiring
