Re: Cheap heated hose
I hate raining on people's parades, but please do check for lead in the insulation (quite common in electrical insulation BTW, at least in the past) and other possible snags. And please report back how it turns out, if you do it. Good luck. Thank you for the tip for lead warnings. I do remember buy...

Re: Cheap heated hose
If ever a less reliable product that creates light and heat (than Xmas lights) was available to the general public without some sort of pyrotechnic licensing required, I am not aware of it. ... Good luck, and do let us know where to send flowers and donations... Hmm... I think you may be confusing ...

Re: Going Commando
It really hits home when forum members (rooster, fortomorrow) have personal experiences with the dangers of suddenly stopping the use of CPAP. Are there any studies that show this effect? I can imagine it would be pretty tough to gather this information, but I'm guessing that if a study showed this ...

Re: Cheap heated hose
I'm experiencing more rainout now that it's colder outside, and looking for a solution. So it's almost Christmas, and strings of lights are only a few dollars. I wonder if a string of lights would work as well as a reptile heater. A light string should fit easily inside the hose cover, the hose cove...

Re: PurSleep (xPAP Aromatherapy) SURVEY
I wouldn't even mention "aromatherapy" in the brochure - just "smell". O. I second Ozij's suggestion. When I first read the product description, the term "aromatherapy" was a red flag to me-- it seemed to imply that it was intended to be part of the treatment (e.g. the embedded word "therapy" and t...

Re: newbie with software questions
Your machine doesn't use software. The machine has to use software and collect useful data, then you have to use the software that's made for that machine. Jim Yeah, I know. When I first posted that message, I hadn't filled in my profile yet, so it didn't occur to me that I should explain that I ha...

Re: newbie with software questions
I have a related question. The "Collective Wisdom" and lots of other threads on this site give very convincing reasons why getting a data-capable machine can improve the success of a treatment. But I haven't found a good comparison of the software packages. Are they all basically the same? Do differ...

Re: options for a stomach sleeper?! (first post)
Hey, my first post, too! And it was great to read your post-- someone who is going through exactly what I'm going through... I have only been using a CPAP (Respironics SleepEasy) for about 3 weeks, and I'm having trouble getting used to it, too (pressure of 8, like you). I'm not quite as young as yo...
