I've never had any allergies in my 56 years..........unless I'm just getting them now.......!!!!! I do know that several years ago when I was on the cpap I would get up sometimes in the morning with absolutely no voice at all........... I'd usually have hot coffee and my voice would come back..........

I know what you mean.........I don't think I have cancer because some days my throat and voice seem fine, and then other days I can barely speak and it's very dry and scratchy......I also don't want to wake up and get a drink of water.....I only wake up when I absolutely have to (to go to the bathro...

Yes..............I have had a dry throat and dry mouth for the last couple of years and it eventually turned into a dry, scratchy throat and chronic laryngitis......I would have days when I could barely talk........But, it was my own fault because I used the cpap w/o a humidifier.....When I first go...

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions on a humidifier......I ordered one yesterday from cpap.com and, hopefully, this will end my dry, scratchy throat problem (with almost constant hoarseness), and my sneezing and runny nose...........I've been putting up with these symptoms for a long time...

I have never used a heated humidifier but did use another non-heated one for a long time. I have had no humidifer at all for at least a year now and I've got to try one out due to my throat dryness and constant hoarseness.....Some days I can barely talk, esp. when I get up in the morning. I'm glad I...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I was wondering if my old CPAP (1997) would be compatible with these humidifiers......I went into cpap.com and I received the reply that an H2 humidifer would be good for my machine.....I looked at this humidifer and am wondering if it will hook up to my remstar c...

I would never qualify for SSI as it's a program for people who are disabled and don't qualify for SS disability (not enough work credits)......But, I realize the disability criteria is the same for both SSI and SS Disb........It doesn't stop me from doing everyday things because I'm being treated wi...

I retired from the State of Montana 1 1/2 years ago and receive state retirement, but it would be nice if I could also get SS disability as it would be a nice supplement to my income (instead of waiting until I'm 62 to collect)......I am now 55 years old......I worked for the State with sleep apnea ...

Humidifer????

I have absolutely no problems sleeping and have my on the CPAP for almost 8 years now. I have not used any type of humidifer for at least one year. I have an old humidifier I got with my machine that is not heated. I stopped using this because it seemed harder to breathe than w/o the humidifer. Now ...

That's cool because I was hoping my machine would last awhile longer....I retired from the State after 35 years but I dropped my health insurance because the cost of $450.00 per month was just too much.........So, i'm hoping the machine lasts until I'm medicare eligible
