Re: Sleep Aid Additive.

Try changing your humidity setting before adding anything. Some people need more and some less to keep the sinuses clear.

Re: Throwing off the Mask / Auto shutoff.

Is your Machine set for auto shut off? Turn it off and you should get a mask alarm.

Re: Pulling CPAP off night stand during sleep

The bigger concern with pulling the CPAP to the floor is water from the humidifier getting into the electronics when it is upended.

Re: Does this make sense?

I have been told that if the hose rubs against something just right it can confuse the sensors into seeing snores.

Re: Desparate for a good night's sleep (leaky mask)

You just need to find the mask that works for you. You are allowed to change masks until you find the one that works for you. Everyone is different. Every mask is different. Do not pass on trying a mask just because it did not work for someone else. there is lots of help here.

Re: Sinus issues with nasal pillows.

If you have the correct size nasal pillows, sometimes adjusting the humidifier up or down can help the sinuses.

Re: Humidifier Problem

The water only goes from the humidifier directly to the hose. So there is nothing to flush out.

Re: OT : Any one had Sclerotherapy?

I had the same issues. the shot the give into the veins wil actually seal them off and they will shrink and disipate. Eventually they will be gone completely. Your body will compensate .

My legs were bothering me very badly . The procedure made a 200% improvement.
