Re: outlet converter for cpap?

What do you think of this:

Do you think it will work? The reason I want to go to ace is because I don't have time to wait for something in the mail. Thanks for the help.

outlet converter for cpap?

We are moving to florida from Montana and brother doesn't want to stop very often so he said to buy a outlet converter or something like that. That way I could sleep in the car. He said it will plug into the lighter thing in the car and then the cpap can plug into it. Is this possible? I don't know...

Re: Rest in Peace

I am still considered a newbie, but I am deeply saddened by this news. I hadn't been on in a while and it was quit a shock to hear the news. R.I.P snoredog.

Re: back ache & sleep positions

Since I started using cpap I wake up with so much hip and back pain. I was hit by a car 6 or 7 years ago while riding a bike. I have a bulging desk and inflamination in my si joints, and a bad hip so I guess that coupled with the fact that I am actually laying still and sleeping is causing it. I us...

Re: my memory has gotten worse since using cpap!

Pillar treatment? I wouldn't think that would work for everyone. Everyone is built different. Yes I noticed the avatar thing too. I reported it just now.

Re: Welcome To The New CPAPtalk.com! Post Bugs/Questions Here.

There's a bug with the avatars feature on the board list. My avatar doesn't show up, instead it is the scrolling thing or another thread it's somebody elses avatar, sometimes it's even somebody's avator who hasn't even posted in that topic. I have noticed this on other posts as will. Some other mem...

Just a quick question about altitude settings

I live in florida right now, but I may be moving to Montana in a few months. I know the altitude is different there. Doesn't anybody know what setting my machine should be if I move up there? How does altitude effect the cpap machine? I just know nothing about this. Thanks

Florida is humid so I don't have to crank it up high, but Montana is low humidity so it's going to be a problem. I don't know why the make the tank so ...

My mom says I worry to much and that my treatment is fine because I don't snore anymore. She says I just don't exercise enough. Not to diss your mom, but you are right to listen to your own body. My family came up with all sorts of reasons why I wasn't sleeping well - including the fact that I was ...

Sorry I didn't get back sooner been busy. I think it is a bit of both. It was determined in the sleep lab that my oxygen went down to 58%, so I am sure with that going on for years it probably contributed to some of it. I do think also it is the medication I have take for depression, anxiety and pa...
