Re: Acupuncture and Moderate Sleep Apnea
"Asking" about "sciences" like acupuncture or chiropractic is a common practice to "suggest" they are actual legitimate science--without technically making a statement. It is a common rhetorical tool used in advertising and propaganda. Rhetoric is often used for evil purposes. Be aware of it! For p...

Re: Acupuncture and Moderate Sleep Apnea
Now I think I have heard EVERYTHING! I pity anybody even tempted to believe such a total crock! Is this somebody trolling us? What total crock? The OP asked in anyone has tried acupuncture for apnea. You read that, the same as me, right? The OP did NOT say that it worked or even that they had heard...

Re: Cleaning with CLR
CLR? As in Calcium Lime Rust remover? Do you like your father-in-law? :wink: I have a bottle of CLR right here in my hand. It does say for use in humidifiers... I'm 100% sure that they do NOT mean CPAP humidifiers as it says on the bottle that "Vapor may be harmful" He's using this stuff to clean hi...

Re: Using ice for cold air?
You read on here, where? While it's true that cold air is more dense than hot air (and carries more O2) by the time this 'cool air' reaches your lungs, it's no longer cool and any additional O2 is no longer additional. You can do as you like of course but, in my opinion, there's no benefits to what ...

Re: Received my PR DreamStation replacement today
Hadn't used my DreamStation for over 6-years. Finally decided I would send for the replacement. Thought I would be getting a DreamStation 2, but it is just another DreamStation. Think it's probably refurbished as there are scratches on the screen. Doesn't much matter as it is in the closet with the...

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner
No residue in my tank from air drying. I use distilled water and dump the tank every morning and I place the open reservoir upside down to dry. I know, I know, SO wasteful. :shock: I also do the lasso thing and spin the tubing over my head to get as much moisture out as possible. Then I hang em all ...

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner
I've been using a cpap for more than 13 years now. I use two things and two things only to soak my equipment and I do it once per week. White vinegar and warm water. I make a solution of ~20% vinegar with warm water and submerge the tank, the heated hose, the nose piece, and the mask hose. White vin...

Re: My resmed shuts down when it gets cold
I notice when it gets to 14´ Celsius and my CPAP machine power adapter and machine get cold it shuts down and gotta warm them up for it to work when unplugged and replugged. In what way does it shut down? No power at all or the machine still has lights but just won't blow? No power at all! As Vando...

Re: Autostart not shutting off with Climatelineair
I believe that there's an auto-start and an auto-off, do you have them both enabled?

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
I agree! Folks here have received a settlement, WTH? And no one talks about it? It would be a BIG help to those of us still attempting to get compensation to hear of other's success stories. :shock: Nobody has gotten a settlement yet because the court isn't even set to give final approval to the se...

Re: Help Using CPAP On Flight
I can't help with the plane and using the CPAP machine, but I personally would be tempted to skip using the CPAP machine on the plane. Two nights non-use isn't going to kill you, well, me anyways. I had to DC the use of my machine for 6 weeks after ear surgery a few years ago. I lived to tell the ta...

Re: How many years does a mask last?
3 years? That's WAY too long, in my opinion. The recommendations are to replace the nasal pillows twice a month (overkill, I do it once per month) and the headgear twice a year (once a year for me). I'm afraid to ask, but how often do you replace the machine's filters and the water reservoir? Once a...
