My experiences. I was diagnosed with depression, which I had. Perhaps if I lived in a world free of chemical additives and electromagnetic waves, and artificial stimulants, depression wouldn't exist. But it does. Mental illness also runs in my family, and I'm just happy that I don't have to take the...

I'm on the s8 Elite CPAP and have been wondering about the effects of trying to get to sleep on my high AHI. Since I just started treatment, It'll take me a little while to save up for the software.

Thanks

Great advice. I'll try looking at the machine's info after work today--thanks! I've used a netti pot in the past for sinus issues, and I'll look into the other system too. I'm wondering, though, is the stuffiness directly related to the level of humidity I'm using? (as in, more humidity = more stuff...

Various newbie questions

Greetings hoseheads, I have been reading posts and searching out answers since my initial sleep test. I can't believe how helpful this forum has already been to me! I've been on the hose for less than a week but when the elbow of my quattro starting hissing at me on the third night I knew just how t...
