6PtStar Could you explain in detail how you do this. I am fairly mechanically minded. I can't figure out how you can go from a DC car battery to an AC machine using jumper cables and an extension cord. I would fear burning up my machine. Wouldn't you need something to "condition" the electricity. I ...

I know it seems like a lot of money, but you should try it. I was very skeptical until my first night. I refuse to sleep without my CPAP or my Pur-Sleep ever again. I am having surgery in a few weeks and I am really hoping I can convince the nurse in the recovery room to use the Pur-Sleep. I am sure...

I don't know, but have you checked with your DME. Maybe they could rent you a battery pack for the weekend.

Rosa smells like roses.
It has been spoken for already.

No, I do not have any other scents. Sorry

Anybody interested in the bottle of Rosa.
I'd like to trade, but will "sell" it to someone for the cost of shipping a $1.00.

Try a new scent or get another bottle of your favorite for $1.00. You can't beat that deal.

I have a new opened/unused bottle of Peace, Paradise and Rosa I would like to trade for Spice, Comfort or Deep.

I purchased all the scents and found I do not care for Peace, Paradise and Rosa but LOVE Spice, Comfort and Deep. Spice being my favorite.

I'll start out by saying I am not the normal xPAP user. I am currently using a CPAP setting of 20 with an Optilife nasal pillow mask without leaks. I love my nasal pillows. Nasal masks cause sores on the bridge of my nose, pillows have never caused any irritation. Using saline gel or KY will cause l...

Maryb, You left the strap intact, but trimmed it. Great idea.
Think I'll take the scissors upstairs tonight. I'll trim off the part that is rolling up and causing the irritation.
Thanks

It is very uncomfortable against the back of my neck. I like to clip that strap, so the upper stra...

Thanks DarthLucy, I needed that laugh this morning.

Last night I tried a combination of Polident AND tape. Seemed to work very well. Unfortunately, I also had issues with rainout, snorted water and fought a gurgling hose half the night.

Oh Yeah, This is the same doctor that put me on supplemental oxygen because my O2 sat dropped ONE TIME during the night when I rolled over. It did drop to 73%, but the rest of the night I was near 95%. (Insurance denied this claim) He also said the RLS was not severe enough to warrant treatment, eve...
