I have been here since April 2010, and if it wasn't for the folks on this forum, I would not be doing as well as I am. Welcome to the group, you will definately not regret being a member.

Thank you all for your kind words and welcome I just wish I had found you all when I first needed CPAP. But I have support now and that is all the matters and I hope to offer as much support and advice as I can although the way England works in regards to CPAP seems to be slightly different. I don't know and have never known about what software is needed for my CPAP the respiratory consultant I have does all the technical stuff and the respiratory and sleep nurses. So in regards to that I am pretty useless !! But will try my best to help people.

Hi Donna-

I'm also new to this forum. Everyone seems very supportive of us newbies which is very nice (though you're not new to CPAP). What I
find interesting is the number of women here....very nice to see.

What part of the UK are you from? We were on a cruise through all the UK and loved it!!

Hi I am just outside London in a city called St Albans in the county of Hertfordshire you probably wouldn't have heard of it ! So glad you enjoyed the cruise, and I am so happy to have found this forum your all so friendly and helpful. It is great that people who are new to CPAP are able to come here for support I wish I had, had it when I first started treatment as it was a very lonely experience for me, but I got through it and have found you all now so hopefully no more lonely experiences for me and just lots of great friends x
