Re: Help with VA rating

I just want to say to the vets thank you for your service. My dad is a Vietnam Vet and was recently given his 100% due to Agent Orange. He served two tours. My parents have been asking me to look into first born children being tainted because of agent orange and think that some of my health conditio...

Re: Can I still get a mask

The parts of the mask that touch your face should be cleaned daily. The hose and other parts you can put off and clean once every 6 - 12 months. At home, using a measuring cup, fill your tank about half full and keep track of the amount you put in. The next morning pour what you haven't used back i...

Re: Can I still get a mask

How often should I be cleaning my mask and tubing? How do you figure out how much water is needed every night so that I don't let water sit or waste water by dumping it every morning? Also since I will be on the road in a truck using my cpap what do you recommend I do about cleaning and drying my ma...

Re: Dreamwear full face you tube

I just ordered mine at the DME yesterday. The lady was so irritated that I was ordering a "new" mask that no one had yet ordered from them and that they did not have on site. But hey I was able to pop her cherry and be her first.

Re: First time flying with CPAP

You can do whatever you want. If you have the cpap in its own bag, then it doesn't count against your carryon allowance (in the USA), since it's medical equipment. Just don't ever check it, since you never know where checked luggage is going to go. I did not know this. I am calling greyhound now......

Re: Can I still get a mask

Yesterday morning I woke up with the mask off my face and on my chin. I talk in my sleep so I think I was trying to talk and could not so in my sleep I moved the mask off of my face and on to my chin.

Has anyone had this happen to them?
