Re: Why does cpap taste like popcorn in my mouth
Make sure the air filter in your machine isn't dusty. Personally, the only times I've smelled anything like popcorn while using cpap is when the metal in the humidifier tank has become hot when I've accidentally let it go dry. That smell wakes me up, so I try to make sure I keep enough water in the ...

Re: Machine Servicing
As a general rule, home PAP machines are only serviced when a problem presents, which that link's wording hints at, despite the later "recommendation." There is no oil to change or anything. It is designed to work perfectly for at least 5 years.

Re: Anyone using MAD device and CPAP ?
. . . it helps enough to get some decent sleep. . . . Although it must be said that subjective judgments of the 'decency' of one's own personal sleep without objective data are notoriously unreliable. That is, for example, why many with health-damaging OSA who have not yet been diagnosed often have...

Re: Machine Servicing
Is this supposed 6-month service/maintenance protocol written in print in the ResMed manual that came with the machine for home use?

Re: Anyone use hose lift or hose buddy system?
Are the command strips re-usable, or only the hooks? Here is a demonstration of how it destroys the strips to stretch them to remove them: https://youtu.be/7ZEk5YH2PFo?si=R5NuznENhWrryMMN The command hook said the cord bundlers hold 2 pounds on packaging. Is that strong enough for a 6 foot CPAP hos...

Re: Help and advice please
I have come to feel that CPAP is the best thing that ever happened to me. My life is much better because of it. Every aspect of my health has improved since starting it. Was it easy? No. Was it and is it worth it? Most certainly! I wish you all the best with it. May life with better breathing and be...

Re: Anyone use hose lift or hose buddy system?
These command hooks are pretty sweet and perfect size. Prob don’t need the six pack but you probably get the drift. https://a.co/d/2vvCEs0 Thank you for this. Didn't know these existed. It is my new home hose management system. I attached one to the back of the piece of furniture next to the bed. I...

Re: If you can afford one get one before tariffs hit
Thanks, Lynn.
If I didn't happen to live in a complex with full generator backup in a location where power outages are extremely rare, I would certainly be looking into something similar to that.
