An odd request, but, has anyone here any experience of using a CPAP machine, either as a wearer or the other half that has to put up with the noise ?

Hi, my daughter had to use one when she was about 9 months old. She was in the hospital on intensive care at the time so didn't really notice the noise.

Kallis --- it's a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine. pumps air into your lungs at a positive pressure so that your throat doesn't collapse and obstruct the airway. It's mainly used by those who stop breathing when asleep !

Thank you - I'd never heard of it before.

Has someone in your family got to have one Foggy?

My friends son has one but he's got heart problems.

Foggy, that sounds like the machine my 79 year old dad has to use. His is on 24/7 and either the neighbours are very understanding......or deaf[:D]
Only kidding, not that bad really if you get one of the smaller compact models.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.
Wait over....certificate recieved 3rd May 2014

Oops! Just googled CPAP and it's nothing at all like the machine I was talking about so disregard my comments[:I]

Andy I think your dad's machine is a nebuliser, which is pretty noisy !!!

Cheers Marksam. I am waiting on the results of my pulse oxymeter test. Would you believe it, the night I wore the gizmo was one of the best nights sleep I have had in ages ..... maybe all I really need is to go to bed with a clothes peg on my finger (acupressure style!).
