Thank you so much. Exactly what I was hoping for in information. I am new at this and did a search on cleaning and did not pull up much of help. I am sure as I get more acclimated it will easier to navigate and pull up information. Thank you all for being patient. This is a great site. Much more hel...

I was hoping to get some knowledgeable input about frequency of washing and methods others have found helpful.

I immerse my hose, mask cushion and shell, and humidifier reservoir in warm water with few drops of dish-washing soap. I wipe out the mask shell and the cushion. Then I rinse all with with warm water. I do this daily. Once or twice a week I add mask frame and headgear in the the soapy water. I have ...

In the beginning I used the machine all the time. Then when was I started struggling at night I gave up trying to use it during naps. Also my spouse disliked me having the cpap next to my chair. I suspect the best thing would be to avoid naps and if necessary take them in bed. However, I am not sure...

After lots of looking and careful listening to members of this board I bought a Resmed 10 autosense autoset. I looked at a lot of sites but settled on the secondwind outlet. I hope It will help. In any event thanks for all the input from other members.

I have been looking at auto cpap units on 2nd wind as suggested by a poster. Is it really safe to buy these second hand? I have been told on here more than once to make sure whatever I buy to get a unit that is up to date technology and has the means to easily generate reports and analysis on a comp...

I am not sure there is much of a volitional component in depression but thats an argument for a different board. Some one asked What cpap i use. It is fp icon fixed pressure.

I am trying to cut back on humidifier. All appointments but the last one he told me to raise humidification. Yesterday he told me to cut if back. I am kind of frustrated because I think he has lost interest in my case. What do you think of my idea to purchase an auto cpap machine to see if it improv...

My PCP thought the mucus was connected to acid reflux. Thank you for explaining why the mucus is not acidic. He prescribed an anti-reflux med. It seems to have helped some but far from complete. I do sleep with my head elevated.

2 years ago my aortic valve failed suddenly. I had a biologic replacement valve implanted and 3 days later had a crt, 3 lead pacemaker implanted for slow heartbeat and total left block. The next day I developed Afib and went on Coumadin and more recently Eliquis to de-coagulate. After discharge I de...

My modest experience is that OSA is enough to exacerbate depression if not cause it. I have so much trouble tolerating the cpap machine that I went several months just not using it. Result was severe sleepiness during day. That is also something to be depressed about. I think anti-depressants are he...
