Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
Damn Tom, that sucks. You using a full face mask? Is that something the doc said you needed? I've been using my CPAP for about 3 1/2 years now and I've never had that problem.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
Dunno about others, but since starting to use my CPAP, I've noticed a marked drop in the intensity and duration of the colds I do get. Whether that's from the stream of warm, moist air flowing...

Not sure about that specific machine, but with my respironics machine, I have to turn the heating element for the humidifier on separately from the compressor.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
Not a problem. It's amazing to me how many people, especially men, seem to have this problem, most of them undiagnosed and/or untreated. Glad to hear you are doing something about this - I know after...

The big machines are not that expensive as medical supplies go, usually run about 3-400 I think. I just pack mine up and carry it with me when I travel. The extra bag is a pain when going through...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
I get new hose/mask/filters every three months, when the DME supplier calls me to ask if I need it. I use only distilled water, but I don't dump the existing water every night - bit of a waste IMO. I...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
You will see more benefit sleeping longer each night. I know I was down to 4 or so hours a night, since it didn't seem to matter how much I slept, I was still tired. Once I started using my CPAP, 6-7...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
Not caused me any problems at all. If anything, my nose is generally clearer for being blasted with warm, moist air every night, so snorking is quite easy.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread
Good luck man. It might well take you some time to get used to using it. You will also see the biggest results within the first 2-3 weeks. It's amazing how much more rested I am than before I was...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

My name is Pete and I have sleep apnea.
I'm sure I had it for years before I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. My ex-wife bugged me for quite some time to get tested. I never did until after we...
