I think I'll name my next dog Bolye. Then I can truthfully say "Boyle did it."

I used a mouthpiece prior to CPAP. It works by keeping the lower jaw thrust forward and slightly open. This unnatural position caused TMJ while not preventing apnea. Now much better on CPAP.

Okay, I'm a rebel. A persistent bout of bronchitis has had me reevaluating my cleaning schedule (almost never). I cleaned pillows, mask tube, hose, and changed the filter before looking at the tank. It was rather limey, so I tried a vinegar soak. After a few hours, the vinegar had simply made the li...

I began CPAP therapy in 2011. Regarding the mask/headgear, I've replaced the pillows, straps, and short hose. The main piece lives on and is still used. "Replacement" masks have just added to my collection for use in camper and 2nd home. I feel bad enough about all the plastic I put in the trash eve...
