    Right. DH will be turning INTO a banana smoothie, thanks Lulu!

    jasp - DH is so the same. He's procrastinated re following up with docs, but finally made GP appt for next Weds to get specialist referral... ... that's after he got the following email at 2am Thurs morning:

    Step 1: Call doctors, make appointment
    Step 2: Call Cabrini and make appt for sleep specialist (BEFORE GP appt because there might be quite a wait)
    Step 3: STOP SNORING!!!
    Step 4: Keep wife.
    I'll let you know how we go.

    Just to encourage him to do something about it, if he does have undiagnosed sleep apnoea, not only will he feel SOOO much better getting it sorted out, but leaving it untreated puts people at higher rates of strokes and other problems because of constantly denying oxygen to your body in little amounts all the time.

    i would highly recommend that if you notice that your partner stopps breathing several times a night that he/she goes for a sleep test i have just recently been for one and are waiting for th results as i stop breathing times a night and i am a snorer

    Thanks Yael & Mr S (hello again ) well he's been sent off to an ENT as the first step, but the GP certainly took it seriously and didn't even try to fob him off with various otc crap. So he's at the ENT on Tues, and we'll see how we go. AFM, well we're taking it in turns who sleeps in the lounge. I need a bigger house oh well, at least I'm getting sleep!!!

    Mr S, GL luck with your results and getting treatment.
