Linda - The ramp is manually turned on, so keeping it off is not difficult. I did not try turning CFLEX off entirely because it (allegedly) helps breathing out, and it feels like that's what I'm struggling with - but it can be turned off, and maybe I'll try that tonight.

future hoser checking in

Hi - figured I'd introduce myself. I was diagnosed with OSA last week and am going in for a CPAP test on Tuesday night.
