really? How come? Now I'm mildly intrigued.
I don't wear tin foil on my head or anything like that. And I have no quirky motives for posting my follow up other then to say that reading your post made me laugh. "Not at you" Just at the situation.
I do tend to ramble on sometimes but it's all harmless I promise

I was wondering if there was an inside joke involved.
Hope no one really thinks I'm crazy

in fact I cannot find any mention of OSA at all!
I have emailed the site to ask the reason for this.

And THIS is the response just received
Thank you for your recent email. I was sorry to hear about your diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea; however it is positive that your treatment is proving to be successful.
You specifically ask for our views on the lack of public awareness around the link between OSA and stroke. Having spoken to both our policy and research teams, I can confirm that we do not have a specific position on this topic at the moment.
However, I can assure you that it is something that we are aware of and is a topic that is being discussed internally. We are also keeping abreast of the current body of evidence. It is certainly being talked about at the major stroke conferences as new research and information comes to light.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to contact us again. The Stroke Helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm. The helpline number is 0303 30 33 100.
We’re keen to hear what you thought of the information and support you’ve received from the Stroke Information Service. If you have a few minutes to spare, please do complete our short survey
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P7R83KG. Your feedback will help us improve our service for other stroke survivors and their families.
Yours sincerely
