Re: Using ice for cold air?

Please share your actual NUMBERS.
Preferably with your DOCTOR.
If there is an actual problem, it is unlikely putting ice anywhere will help.
I remember someone trying ice, but it was for COMFORT, as I recall.

Re: Starting soon.... One more question.

Exactly, Sheriff.
I did the daily thing until I noticed it was really hard on the stuff I was cleaning.
My stuff lasts a lot longer now.
The DME is none too happy, but I am fresh out of effs for them.

Re: New mask

It took me around 3 months to find my groove.
This is not uncommon.

Re: personal, at home sleep apnea test?

Some doctors do not trust the patient to have "too much" information.
Been there, so, yeah, it happens.
They don't really need a reason.

Re: personal, at home sleep apnea test?

Sleep studies do often have the ability to assess position vs events;
but the provider$ are rarely motivated to provide that information to the patient.
You can probably $ee why.

Re: side sleeping

My sweet bullfrog has been doing it by sheer willpower. Lately, it's been quite a bit more difficult, as he is recovering from a fractured sternum suffered in a recent auto accident. (Not our fault) He was unable to side sleep on the right for a month; and 2 months later, still cannot sleep on his l...

Re: Adventures with boiling

. . . the rubber . . . Not rubber, but silicone, please. There is no rubber (latex) in any cpap equipment, due to allergies. Simmering silicone parts in water and baking soda can help. Full or extended boiling might be unwise. My nuwave induction hob allows better heat control than any other cooktop.
