CPAP Machines and Pneumonia

This is a question for all. I've been a CPAP user for two years, have used the same machine and have had great results. I was released from the hospital a couple days ago and am recovering from pneumonia. Since owning my machine I have been a fanatic about keeping it clean. Everything gets cleaned a...

I spent twenty years in the military and was always told that anything good for you HAD to be painful!

If your relationship should ever progresses to the point that you are sleeping together make sure he is fully versed in the mask. Allow him to experience a couple of nights without the mask and then he will probably remind you to put it on before you sleep. My brother (also a sufferer) is a divorcee...

No, mine is the cup type that goes over the nose. I've tried to adjust it many times but still look like I went a round with Tyson. I've also tried band-aids over the nose which seems to make it a little better but still not quite there.

Jashmir3 Speak up anytime. I do have a complaint. I was "issued" a comfort gel. Must be the favorite of the good folks at the VA. I seen another post with the same mask issued.

As of last Friday, I am the owner of a ResMed AutoSet Spirit with a heated humidifier .

I have had my initial sleep study which diagnosed me with OSA and will have my titration this Sunday night. I am currently in the USN and due to ou...

I have suffered with OSA for at least the past five years with the last two being intense. I have endured the last twelve months off misdiagnosis. If not for my being proactive in doing research the system would still be telling me I was suffering extreme depression and attempting to place my on yet...
