Re: Dreamstation Auto CPAP - Initial Impressions

The light screen on the front is more annoying than the beep used to be! I have been putting a bandana over it.

Re: pregnancy

nah, fertility clinic caused the pregnancy. BUt today I got a new machine- a dreamstation I think. And a new mask, the wisp. and heated tubing. My AHI wasn't bad- ranged 1-2.
