Tea Tree Oil

Wondering if using Tea Tree oil would work as a decongestant by placing some in front of the filter. Just wondering about this. Would like to try something to help with Sarcoidosis congestion... :|

Sorry, I don't want to hear about ALL your troubles. ;) I am not selling anything. I am doing research for an advanced work...

Re: New CPAP purchase advise

I called the craigslist guy and he agreed to $300 cash. So I'm getting the Resmed Airsense 10. It's not a for her model, but it is something that I can afford. He said he didn't use it much. Is there anything I should check while I'm inspecting the unit? If this is important to you find out if it c...

Re: Reservoir bag in the CPAP circuit.

Morning SP, I have never seen a bag like that for cpap, but I can tell you what we used bladder tanks for. It was used to smooth out pulsations in our feed flow. I'm pretty sure that is what this may be used for, not 100 % sure though. Others will be along shortly that may actually know...Have a nic...

Re: Reoccurring issues with the blower

That is good to know about the Resmed. We might try it in the future. Also do you guys recommend to put the machine in a drawer or on the floor to reduce noise? Hi Tah, I used to have my machine on nite stand, I now have it placed on the floor next to the bed so when the light comes on it won't wak...

Re: In person Fitting Required for new CPAP for 20 year user

I don't understand "fitting" a cpap or hose to you.
I order on the phone for my supplies, hoses, mask, cushions etc...never once had to have a fitting... sounds kinda messed up to me. :|

Re: Very low blood pressure at night

Hello moonboots,

Have you tried to cut liquid intake about 2-3 hours before bed? That helped me a bunch, now I just take a sip to satisfy my need for water before bed...doesn't hurt a thing. Also if your a beer drinker stop that way before bed...good luck with this.
