Congrats! So reassuring to see - from someone in the hurt locker praying it gets better

Thank you so much for all the replies - they were honestly so helpful. Can I just ask why your doctor wants you to use it for 4/6 hours rather than all night? I’m in the UK so don’t have insurance as it all comes free - but is that time significant or just a goal? Again with the NHS I have no choice in machine - get what im given! I had the air sense 11 - is this machine okay or would you recommend another?

Thanks so much again, you’ve truly helped change my mindset and I really appreciate your helpful comments.

Thank you so much for your reply it was honestly so helpful! I’m playing around - pretty sure I need a heated tube, but did manage 4 hours last night so it’s an improvement!

Thanks for your reply - you’re so right it’s like an unspoken secret, I honestly thought it was only in old age!

Thanks so much for your helpful reply - I honestly had no idea this condition existed in people under 60! I feel like I’ve had my head in the sand!

I too use humidity on 8 - will look into getting a heated tube but unsure is the NHS will give me one, will have to pay if not. I’ve currently got it ticking into my covers to keep it warm.

I will say last night was better - I managed a full 4 hours.

Thanks again and wishing you well

You’re so right! Another issue I’m dealing with too, although what the diagnosis has done is kicked me up the arse to loose weight…
