I use Milton, which is a mild disinfectent used to sterlise babies bottles. It works really well, you would not even know it has been on and is totally safe.

If your hose is below the level of your bed, you could be getting water collecting in the tube. I had this problem when I first got mine, I would wake up at night with a mask full of water and that clunking noise. I would disconnect the tube and a small pool of water would come out if I turned it ve...

I did not have a titatron, or a full sleep study, I had a home sleep study kit which showed up severe sleep apnea. They gave me a 2 week trial with my machine, which made a massive difference and I bought it. They told me how to put the mask on and said the machine will sort it all out for me, which...

That is very similar to the surgery I had, but with me it was because of something I was born with, rather than to alleviate sleep apnea. I was a mouth breather but I was able to train myself not to be relatively quickly once I got my mask. I just use a comfort gel, but after a week or so I stopped ...

Well I had a much better night last night, but still had the unexplained pressure drop. I woke up at 2am and 5:30 am and felt like I had had proper sleep. I checked the pressure reading on my machine and it was at 15, so all looked well. Then when I woke up at 6:30am, the pressure felt low again and...

With me, I had had operations on craniofaicial issues as a child, which left me with an abnormally small and shallow pallet (hence little space of the air to go in at night). I had a midface advancement when...

Cheers Brenda, I think it was the fact that its the worst night I have ever had and its far worse than anything I have had before (in 17 months too). My humidifier once blew the fuse on my machine, meaning I lost a couple of hours sleep in a middle of a night and I felt quite rough then. But this wa...

Thanks guys, off the top of my head I do not know my leak figures, but I will check the literature I got with my mask. If I have a good nights sleep for the rest of the week, I will assume last night was a one off and not worry about it (assuming the literature suggests everything is fine). If not, ...

Hello, I discovered this forum this morning and have been doing a lot of reading on it. To give you a background to my diagnosis, I was diagnosed in January 2007 following a home sleep test by a doctor at a private clinic. They prescribed me the Remstar Auto M Series C Flex, and I was not given a sl...
