Blogging

Good Morning World!

For the last month or so I have been following various CPAP users on Twitter. After getting a few emails for people I have commented with regarding their treatment of sleep apnea I have decided to give this blogging an attempt.

As a few of you know I have OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and currently using a Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle™ 250 AutoCPAP with SensAwake™ Technology. I also use the Opus™ 360 Nasal Pillows Mask. For the last seven (7) years I used the Phillips Respironics Virtuoso LX System with auto titration.

Thanks again for everyone's support on Twitter and I look forward to helping users of CPAP Therapy and at the same time learning from others at the same time.
