Re: Extension cord for travel . . .
You may want to verify this before spending your hard-earned money on an extension cord. If I understand correctly and according to ResMed, all you really need is a plug adaptor. Here's what ResMed writes on their website under International Travel: International Travel ResMed PAP devices run on vir...

Re: I just finished my first night with CPAP.need encouragement
Hang in there big guy. We've all been through what you're presently experiencing in some sort of way.
Once you've chosen a suitable mask and found the "ideal" sleeping position, you'll start sleeping like an infant.

Re: Where to place the CPAP Machine?
A few weeks ago, I decided to forego the "hospital look" of storing my machine, hose and mask on top of my night table as the clutter of telephone as well as clock radio and desk lamp was just too much. I emptied my top drawer that I previously used for my socks and drilled a hole in the back of the...

Re: Obsession with distilled water
After conducting a search, I came across this older post as I wanted to know what all the hype was about using distilled water in our humidifiers. Some of you have stated that you re-use your humidifier's distilled water from the night before and simply top it off as the water level diminishes. If t...

Re: Does Vinegar Really Disinfect?
At three weeks strong using my CPAP, I have not yet had the "pleasure" of rinsing/washing my water tank with the mfr's recommended mixture of vinegar and water. For those that have, do you feel like you're eating salad when you sleep?

Re: Happy Thanksgiving to those in Canada
For one week, prior to going to bed, journal 5 things that happened that day that you are grateful for. Some days you will have to stretch to find five. Maybe you got a good parking spot. Maybe you saw a pretty flower. Maybe you had a great cup of coffee. Maybe something you’ve dreamed of came true...

Re: How much sleep before you felt better?
I have not done that since making the relationship with my little bedside friend. So true. This was another obstacle that I found very hard to overcome. In the very beginning of my CPAP experience, going to bed at night took much energy as I'd walk into the room and see the blasted thing glowing gr...
