Re: Mask Alarm

Is there an alarm or a counter for a mask that you could install that will tell you when you take the mask off. I am taking it off during the night and not waking up to reinstall. The weird part is I am not ripping it off I am removing it very carefully. I am also feeling great. It took about a wee...

Re: I don't know which buttons to push

What machine is it? Many manuals are available on line. And most likely someone will tell you what to do if you post the brand/model of the machine. I laughed at your comment about the body fat But my doctor told me that once your throat gets fat it does not loose weight like the rest of your body,...

Re: You Stopped Breathing In Your Sleep Two Million Times? Huh?
