I was told that the Innomed Hybrid was Discontinued

With the Hybrid going away, what's a good replacement?

Re: Travelling / Distilled Water

Distilled H20 is a CONVENIENCE, but certainly NOT a necessity. Sheesh!

I'd be interested to see if anyone has home brewed a Bleep style mask. With just some tubing and 3M tape you could save $2 a day. The hard part would be getting the venting right I imagine.
I use a duct tape mask and wear it 24/7. As a bonus, people tend to cross the street to avoid me.

Re: Another "scam"?

Thanks! The unit is basically two UV lights, that will kill germs. Period.

But, then, how germy is the average cell phone? I'd worry more about the germs on the change in my pocket or purse. Talk about germs!!

And his thing IS a convenient phone charging station (with pretty lights...)

Another "scam"?

I got an unusual Christmas gift.

It's a "Phonesoap" unit. You put your cellphone in it overnight, and they claim it will kill germs overnight. It DOES have an impressive blacklight tube in the lid, tho. Sound familiar? LOL

Anything legitimate to this? Does "SoClean" ring a bell?

Re: Where do you get supplies?

My wife got a ROOMBA (automatic floor sweeper) for Christmas. I have noticed since then my CPAP filters last a LOOONG time between changes.

Anyone else?

Ok thanks. I will fiddle with that tonight!
If you moisten the nasal "nubs", you can easily adjust the alignment for fit and comfort. Once it evaporates it will stay put.

American Home Patient.

But only because they play well with Blue Cross and Medicare. I pay nothing out-of-pocket. They send me what I need "automagically".

Any adolescent male (and most females) can show you how much a "squirt" is. They'll be proud to show you if are confused.

Hi,

My lips are forced open by pressure only when I am lying on my back. This causes a 'popping' sound of air exiting my mouth which wakes everyone up, including myself.

When I lie on my side, there is no problem.
Sounds like my first girlfriend! ;)
