How many bags did you travel with before CPAP and how many do you travel with now?

Travel ?
I am curious how one packs for an airline trip with all this extra stuff. I am accustomed to only traveling with carry-ons. I usually have my roller suitcase and my backpack that fits under the seat in front of me. I am just curious how others pack and how much hassle you get going through TSA and b...

Re: Finally....
Here's hopping that that good night's sleep is the first of very, very many good nights with good sleep. :) Unfortunately it was not. Last night was not the best. Mask off 4 times. AHI's under 1. Took satin off the cheek parts of mask one time. The silicone on my nose woke me twice. Not sure what t...

Re: Finally....
Are you talking about a CPAP equipment cleaning procedure? If so, you might want to speak with members here. A reasonable cleaning procedure is very easy and quick. My procedure only takes a minute a day. Others use different but easy cleaning procedures. [/quote] Yes, I empty my tank and clean my m...

Re: Finally....
Last night was a mess. LOL! Didn't get two in a row. Maybe tonight will be the start of a streak. Had the mask on for 8 hours, however took it off 4 times. AHI's were less than 1.Miss Emerita wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 3:26 pmHey, that's great news! Let's root for an upward spiral.

Re: Finally....
clean my stuff on Sundays unless I don't because of other stuff going on. Then I do Saturday or Monday. Since I have asthma, I try to be diligent with what I'm breathing and this is the one thing I can control. I usually do mine on a Sunday. I have a portable wash tub that I put on my shelving unit...

had a good night's sleep. Don't think much bothered me about the mask or anything else. I got almost 6 hours uninterrupted, woke up and decided to try for a few more hours. Scored an extra hour and a half. I feel pretty good today. Just normal, not angry, pissed off, etc. Did my weekly cleaning and ...

Re: Why,? Why do I keep using this machine?
I do like the idea of bleep but am very allergic to medical adhesives so that may be a no go for me unless I want horrible welts, itching and burning. The adhesive is made by 3 M company and it's the same adhesive that is made for ostomy bags to stick to the skin. So colostomy bag adhesive. It's ab...

Re: Why,? Why do I keep using this machine?
The health problems associated with sleep apnea are associated with untreated and undertreated sleep apnea. Well that just made me question something else. I am being treated so that's good but how do I know if I am meeting the gold standard or if I am being undertreated? My coworker has it. They d...

Re: Why,? Why do I keep using this machine?
Outside of your partner, how many people actually see you when you are lying in your bed asleep? In previous posts, you have expressed concern about people seeing the cpap equipment in your bedroom. Now you've upped the ante and say that you don't want people to see you with the actual mask on your...

Re: Why,? Why do I keep using this machine?
When I first started using my machine, I felt as though I was all alone in having apnea. Then over time I learned that two people on my block use CPAP, two people in the office, two old friends (who are so used to it they never thought to mention it), plus many people in airports with those ResMed ...
