Re: Furious with Sleep Clinic

Your story, this makes me sad as your health is involved. I had the same problem but not as bad as yours-I do not get oxygen and once I called and complained that I need the machine (it had already been approved) to LIVE, hello... I am also a high stroke risk and once I started saying things like "I...

Bevjok -did you go camping?? Let us know- We love camping and now my husband is a CPAP as well-I use a concentrator for low oxygen so that sucks-No Burning Man for us...LOL Anyway, we are trying to figure it out as well-camping is very easy if you have electrical hookup…you can even run a heavy dut...

Re: Hose that will not dry out! Help!

I just found a mistake that I wrote down here-I DO NOT use distilled water to clean the hose-I use soap and water as recommended. The distilled water is for the humidifier-sorry.

Re: Hose that will not dry out! Help!

Good info..I swear, the local medical supply house told me to hang in the bathroom..I knew that may be wrong ...it was also hung in my closet and I think it was too dark in there. I do use distilled water and I did purchase an extra hose.

I have been a CPAP (ResMed Elite with full face mask, Quattro FX with oxygen at night) since June and am doing very well. I know how to take care of the equipment and such…all is well. My question is, and I am very c...
