I ran acoross this forum and thought some might be interested in seeing things from the "English" perspective. Of course being as they have socialized medicine there are lots of problems. 7 to 60 month waits for a sleep study!!! I did read about health fairs where reps from Resperonics amd Resmed offer mask fitting trials. There is a fee of 25lbs. but sure sounded like a good idea. I would gladly pay $40.00 to have a few dozen masks to try! I also saw a post about clinics using powdered silicone to make some type of "filler" for areas where masks leak. Another post mentioned using self sticking strips of towelling to stop leaks. Apparently these are used by tennis players on their racket handles! The owner of the forum has a DME and does push his equipment but he is very helpful. The blogs are also interesting.
