Re: Best way to maintain Full Face Mask Cushion? Cleaning Routine

I wipe my mask & cushion every morning with a baby wipe (no rinsing). Each night, I use a wet cleansing cloth (brand varies) to "wash" my face. Once a month, I do a deep cleaning of my mask using either baby shampoo or Dawn Direct Foam. My mask cushion lasts anywhere from 9-12 months.

Hi Metsfan! So good to see you.

I would like to highly recommend these hose covers. I have 3 of them and LOVE them. I cannot stand the cold hose hitting me and these covers work perfectly. Plus, they wash and dry like a dream!!

Pugsy - If you need a proofreader and/or spell checker, I volunteer! I've always been a good speller. People I used to work with called me a "walking dictionary."

Re: Why the hell would I use a humidifier.

I went from CPAP (with humidification) to BIPAP (with humidification) to the Trilogy WITHOUT humidification. The air was so dry that I pretty much gagged through the night on it. Got a stand-alone humidifier to use with the Trilogy and have been comfortable ever since.

Re: Anyone else waking up constantly throughout the night?

I can usually fall asleep relatively easy enough, but the awakenings are the huge problem. I will be starting no caffeine tomorrow though and report back through my 30 day journey. I gave up caffeine years ago. Going cold turkey almost killed me (not literally, but figuratively). I started over and...

Re: Anyone else waking up constantly throughout the night?

As someone who drinks both coffee and wine, I'll share my experience/opinion on the subject. Coffee: I drink 4-8oz cups of regular coffee daily. My 4th cup is no later than 2pm. Any coffee after that is decaf and I have a cup of decaf 4-5 nights after dinner. If I have coffee out and end up with reg...

Re: Getting Started and Startling the Doc

I was reading this with my early morning coffee and just smiled. I love seeing this kind of thing. I am so impressed with how you handled that doctor! You knew what you were talking about, knew what you needed and made it clear, politely I might add, that you wouldn't settle for anything less. Kudos...

Re: OT -- perhaps

One of my all time favorite doctors was a DO. Her practice and methodology worked very well for me, and I felt she gave me exceptional care. If I hadn't moved 200 miles away, I'd still be with her.
