Having a cold with CPAP

Yikes! Having a cold with wearing CPAP is no fun Any hints? My nose is stuffy and runny, I have been coughing and sneezing the last two days and as soon as I put the mask on bam! I feel like I need to take it off but I don't want too. Do I just keep taking it on and off?

I refused to take them because I knew I was no...

Re: What is a good AHI?

I had the wrong machine and humidifier in my profile, I changed it to the correct ones. Thank goodness for pictures! I downloaded Sleepyhead to get the information. I have worked nightshift for the last 15 years so I am accustomed to getting by with 4 to 5 hrs sleep a day with a 1/2 nap before work....
