Forgot to give you the link to the site, DUH! See you there if you decide to give it another go. Get a good Data capable machine. ResMed Autosense10Autoset is the best around, but there are others, Resperonics Dreamstation is another, but if you do not have one, go for one of these, but make sure it is DATA capable and best if it is Sleepyhead compatible as you can learn a lot from these charts that you can look at and print off. There are a lot of machines that are not like the ones above and if you have an older one don't worry, there is still help to be had. I found hospitals are limited to the help you can get, just due to limited access or lack of nurses/doctors time.
Here is the link, if it does not work copy and paste into your browser or search for Apnea Board Forum:
There is also this forum but I have so far not had much to do with them. http://www.cpaptalk.com/CPAP-Sleep-Apnea-Forum.html
Also https://britishsnoring.co.uk/forum/i...c65983712564e2but it is quite quiet these days!
This forum used to be busy, but I don't know what happened, everyone vanished at the same time when they messed about with it.
CPAP is very good, but not handy if travelling by plane as it is something else to haul around, but it is the best treatment, it is just a case of getting used to it. The new modern machines like those I recommended are very quite and the ResMed 10 is very small, so it might be worth upgrading if you had an older one or some of the older Bricks as we call them, they are large and noisy. When I got the ResMed I thought it was not running it was sooo quiet. Even the wife used to nudge me to check the machine was on.
It is worth another go with a newer machine if you had an older model. Mask is by far a bigger problem and you are not alone in having problems with machines, masks and trying to use it all. So do not suffer in silence, join another forum and get the advice you need.
You will get advice here, but it will be limited and is sales pitched. Nothing wrong with that as long as the advice id good. It usually is, but with so few members dropping in these days it will be very limited.
Good luck in what even you decide to do.
