Well, I'm glad you liked my first post. Just read it again and the spelling is awful, but never mind you understood me anyway.

My little tale moves on!

They sent me home with this second hand dyson vaccum cleaner cpap set at 6cm/h20 and an oxygen meter thing to clip on my finger. The idea is that I do one night with cpap and one night without to see what my oxygen levels are. During my sleep study in 03 my oxygen dropped to 58% which according to a paramedic friend of mine that is brain damage territory.
I am going to do the test over the weekend as my partner is a away at the moment and she is paraniod over the thought of coming home and finding my corpse in bed.

However, and when dealing with this sodding condition, the is always a however,I have now had three nights with the dyson cpap set at 6, and guess what, had a really bad night last night and woke up gasping on three occasions. (Havn't told the Mrs yet) So to me this isn't working. Feel pretty crap as well.

We will do the oxygen test at the weekend and see what they make of it, but I think it looks like I am going to have to buy an auto machine for my self.

I will keep you informed.
