TSA is not a problem. As mentioned in a post before mine. I put hose in Zip lock than my mask in a bag by it self. This is so they can see it all with out having to handel it. It should be carried on to the plane. It is considered a medical device and will not count as 1 of your carry ons. The first...

I am having a simalar problem. My ear conals feel moist in the morning. Clean my ears with qutips every morning. I talked to my primary care Dr. I was told it had nothing to do with cpap. I was given ear drops but they have not helped. Not sure what it is but definity think it is related to cpap.

I think you are too worried about the test. I was also worried about every thing, not sleeping, them finding i had it, them not finding would mean something different was wrong. Try to Relax. I was told i needed two nights. The first night would be to see if I had apnea. The second night would be to...

Last night was the first night with my CPAP. All I can say is rough. Mask adjustments waken up every hour or so. Leaking mouth, mask to tight, Mask to loose, and general annoyance do to it being so new. I think I sleep more with OSA than I did last night with CPAP……… LOL LOL I know I need to give it...

It's either your health or their bottom line ... you decide. I like the way you think But I dont know what ...
