Re: This sucks!

jagjad, I too am new to using CPAP by a week. And only a year older. So far it has been helping me wonderfully. My sister (who is 2 years older than I am) has been on it for probably 4 years now.

Re: Were you prescribed a humidifier?

I am a new CPAP user and new to forums. I was prescribed a humidifier cpap machine. It is all integrated and it not only has a heated humidifier but also a heated hose along with it. This I am sure because of seasonal nosebleeds (sometimes very ver bad) and also because of easily getting cold. So fa...
