Sleep Apnea

Have you got this condition, or know someone who has?  I am pretty certain I have had it for years but only knew of it recently.

Last year I was given a cpap machine with a mask and headgear.  Unfortunately I have Tracher Collins, which has caused me much difficulty with my jaw and the top bit where the neck joins the head.

As you can imagine, as I am sure you probably realised during COVID the complications of wearing masks and these ones need to be worn while you are sleeping!

It has been a problem trying to find the right mask and headgear.  Kevin and I ended up looking ourselves and finding something that works on a different basis so might be better -,I’ll only know if it starts causing me a problem.

I saw a lovely doctor yesterday and she had apparently seen me when I got the cpap machine and was having lots of mini seizures.  Therefore I couldn’t remember her at all!  She was very lovely and answered all the questions I had.

So things ARE getting sorted while I am in here, but this wasn’t where I would have wanted them    Anyway, that’s not important where they get done, JUST that they get done.

TREASURE

Being able to ask questions and advice from someone who knows what they are talking about!
