British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association

I get that alot Tracey, " go and have a coffee, you'll be alright then" I could drink the coffee place dry and still be asleep in 5 minutes

They cant help themselves, they just aren't listening, aren't thinking and lets be honest, they have there own issues

How's this: I've my follow up appointment, I was given a different machine as the pressure has been increased. Hubby was dumbstruck when I told him i've got it for the year until my next appointment.....He thinks OSA can be cured.......

I have now had my CPAP + humidifier for two weeks. I have kept friends and family (family all live in Aus) informed about it on Facebook, as I want to encourage others to think about probs they may have with sleep/snoring etc.

One of my dearest and oldest friends who was having a bit of an insensitive moment said "So do you look like Darth Vadar at night?" (this on the very day I had my machine)

At first I was a bit stunned by the insensitivity of it as I knew I was going to look very odd (but frankly don't care if it does the job) But we had been ready for this kind of remark so I said "No hun, Del (my DH), the lovely Luke (sleep nurse) and myself have decided I am now known as "Lady Top Gun!", made me feel better and everyone else thought it was great.

Great reply Janey!! And well done for persevering!! Hope to hear that you are less 'jaded' as time goes by!

Lady Top Gun eh!

Tally ho............
Bandets at five o'clock high

Thank you Alsacienne, I do hope to be a lot less 'jaded' soon lol

Sleep2Snore....hahahahaha...Del now says "have a good flight" before we go to sleep, bless him

I'm tempted to drop the bombshell about having to wear a mask in bed. Knowing my collegues, they have been reading that saucy book "50 Shades of Grey" and will think I'm into something weird....Mucky pups!!!!!

Oh dear.... my dear mother still did not click despitre me explaining to her million times that no, it is not going to sort itself if I try to go to bed and get up same times every day.....or that having naps I am wasting time....

JadedJaney.. I love the 'Lady Top Gun' bit!

I haven't got as far as the Cpap yet, but just know I will need it (having had original diagnosis 10 years ago).

When/If I do... can you come up with some names I can call myself... like Lady Top Gun so I can take the mickey out of myself .. before the others do!

Doesn't have to be polite.

I am female.

Probably older than most of you.

I have a highly charged sense of humour.

Look forward to your suggestions.

Oh, my mask has called "elephant's trunk" at least once.....
