Another French resident here ... you will have absolutely no problem using your machine here as long as you have the right plug. Most machines can cope with our voltage without having to do anything to them. I travel all over Europe and have never had any problem travelling by air. The swabbing does...

The discarded water from a tumble dryer is distilled but DON'T use it unless you want to breathe in fabric conditioner flavours!!

Have you considered drinking mineral water?

My DME has given me an S9 Elite II to replace my S8 Elite II. Having fought against my AHIs and pressure issues, AND mask leaks with that S8, showing me AHIs of about 8 an hour and leaks of more than 0.4l ... suddenly there's been a miracle ........... and on the S9 I'm showing less than 2.5 AHIs, n...

Prayers for you both and much love xxx

Much love to you both. Prayers continuing. xxxxxxxx

I am monitoring my AHI level very closely. If I'm waking in the night - which I often do because of tendonitis in the knee or a hot flash/flush - being of a 'certain' age! - are these likely to show up as AHIs in my data? Is it possible to wake because of other things than an AHI? Sorry if this seem...

I haven't been a member long enough to have a delete spam button. MODS AND ADMIN could you please delete this post for me. And to LoQ, thanks for your help. Sorry my Russian wasn't good enough to realise it was spam - mais si moi j'avais écrit en Français, est-ce que ceci serait vu aussi comme spam?

Dori, thank you for sharing your update. I hope that Mike continues to improve. Thoughts and prayers continuing. xxx

Lars I'm still quite a newbie to this site, but an 'oldie' on another OSA site. However I just wanted to support you in your decision to return. It's often all too easy to 'lose it' on an internet forum, and because it's cyberspace and not real life, the posted reactions are often more extreme than ...

You and Mike are in my thoughts and prayers. xxx
