I have severe sleep apnoea as a result of a stroke a few years ago. Does your OH have to wear a mask (CPAP)? I've worn one for the last 6 years and it makes so much difference to your sleep. OH and I often joke that, should we ever be burgled during the night, the burgler would run a mile if he saw this alien looking creature (me :rolleyes:) lying in bed! The "box of tricks" the mask goes into is slightly noisy, but you soon get used to it.

Yes it is one of those CPAP masks/units.

His mood has improved dramatically and he has only used it two nights:)

Ok everyone better tell you a basic jist of whats happening for me, couple of weeks ago two mates of mine died , one was killed in a car crash and one died of a heart failure, both were very young. Now I am trying not to dwell on things but it is hard.


My doctor has increased my meds but has given me the wrong dosage:eek: so my meds have been a bit messed up, so now im a bit like a tennis ball, bouncy one minute and dead on me feet the next, lol. Totally tierd all the time, and numb, but im keeping going, the one thing I am learning is we can all get there if we want to, if we want the help if we want to get better we will. I am doing my best to be positive , I have been attending anger management courses (yes I know hard to imagine me angry right,), i am also attending next step which is a place where unwell people go to train and do activities tomorrow morning i am doing art, lovin it, lol. I cant work at the moment anyway as have been signed off work. so to still have something to do each week keeps me going. have to say im not sleeping too well atm but hoping it will improve

I was also at the hospital today and need an operation which will happen in the next few months on my feet, scary procedure but it needs to be done.

My baby isnt well at the moment which is concerning me a little but if things get too bad i will do something to help her.

I cant complain too much as this week I seen two of mates who were in hospital with me, one I seen and she has came sooooo far since being in thee, and I think if she can do it, then im ruddy gonna try my nbest to do it too.


So everyone don’t give up, there is help around you, people here, and support in friends families and all around you, even if you think no one cares, there will be someone somewhere thinking of you.

Much love everyone keep fighting xxxxxxxxxxxx

So pleased for you ... just goes to show how important sleep is. I'm sure you/he will notice a long-term difference, these machines are life-savers (literally) ... so many accidents are caused by people suffering from sleep apnoea when they get over tired during the day and, like you say, they are great mood enhancers!

Hi Rose

Sorry to hear about your friends, that is terrible losing two in that way so close together, also your daughter and feet - it never rains but pours - ((((big hugs))))

Yes selling the house is a l-o-n-g process and seems slow just now. I can't find anything just now, so a dead time.

Yes, body chemistry and decent sleep are vital to health - get those out of synch and you know about it! Being around caring people is a huge tonic too:)

Also, once you heal from an operation, you are on the road to recovery!

Much Love,

Morning all,

Hope you are all okay and are hanging in there.

Rose - thanks for your post. It is great to hear from you again. Sorry to hear about your friends. You and their families are in my thoughts.

As for valentines day - I'm an old romantic. I cooked a meal + dessert. Did the flowers (roses), champagne and got dressed up for her. Some slushy music to dance / shuffle to... We both really enjoyed the evening. :kisses2: To be honest I'm always doing little romantic things for 'R', I've heard us romantics are a dying breed...

Will be around today depending on work and probably a bit this evening but I won't be around next week as we are both off work.:j
