Re: Sleeping pills either prescription or over the counter
I understand that our early ancestors all woke up in the middle of the night and visited,then slept again. Thought to aid in not being someones midnight snack.

Re: Are travel CPAP machines worth it?
I wouldn't buy one. Never had a problem in eight + years. On planes they don't count toward carry on limits. Mine have gone to Europe,Hawaii and Canada by plane,train and automobile.

Re: Routine endoscopic screening with known sleep apnea - accommodations?
I was asked to bring mine in case of unexpected emergency. I label the case with a name tag and a
medical equipment tag and a sticker label on my machine. I always do if there is a chance of over night. They put the case under the gurney and it goes with me.

Re: Horrible smell traced to empty humidifier
I run my water tank through the dishwasher. I checked to see if it was safe. I rinse well afterwards anyway. I do use a detergent from my organic food store. I use EWG, Environmental Working Group, to check out household cleaners. There are chemicals in cleaners more dangerous than dirt.

Re: OT - vaping - cbd's
I live in Washington State. The are several stores within a mile of me and and they all have some level of trained personnel and safe products. If you go in with an issue they offer different products to choose. One has medical personnel. I have no reason to vape.

Re: Melatonin experience
If you use any prescription meds make sure Melatonin is compatible. One of mine was not.

Vaping is dumb if you have lungs. Why pay for air pollution.

Re: slightly OT: flonase equivalent
Too many carbs for me but I notice it is a favorite food on British Columbia ferries. Not much different than gravy on mashed potatoes. Just easier to eat.

Re: Cat bites climateline hose while I sleep
Training the cat to bite the hose would probably work better

Any one else out there use a Circadiance mask?
I see so many mask complaints about but don't remember a Circadiance complaint. I have used the Circadiance Advance for over five years with never a problem. I could not tolerate plastic on my face, never a problem with my Advance.

Re: My attempts to secure BleepSleep DreamPort covered by insurance
I would suggest logging in to Medicare and searching for a new DME that coordinates with Blue cross and starting over.

Re: my face is breaking out with a red rash help
I can not use a plastic type mask. I have been using a Circadiance cloth mask for almost 6 years. No problems at all since I changed.
