Last night I had as much facial hair as I ever do, about 1-2mm whiskers, which I shaved off today.. could that have been a significant contributor?

Update on CPAP progress: nights 3, and 4. First off, thank you Clownbell, for that observation, (and everyone else who shared their insights), I'll definitely look into a cervical collar. I do know for certain that when I turn to sleep on my back, the pressure immediately increases, so now that you'...

Re: Is Your CPAP Store Canada legit?

CPAP.COM matches any valid advertising Yes, but they can't/won't ship any ResMed or Respironics product to addresses outside the USA. I’m in Toronto and rented a ResMed AirSense Auto CPAP 10 from a retailer in the L.A. area through kwipped.com. Of course the brain dead Canadian government is making...
