Re: CBD Oil - Does it work for you, What have you tried?

No! I feel very little difference using: 3 inhalations of medical marijuana three times per day or Hemp CBD Tropical Cream.

CPAP Without Humidifier

Is there any benefits by not filling your chamber. Strange, but my Pulmonary and Health Care Physicians, both on a CPAP stay away from using any type of water.

Remaining Tank Water

The next morning there's always some distilled water left over in my tank. Is it okay to reuse, along with new replaced distilled water. I usually ditch the left over distilled water. Wipe the tank clean and replace with new supply of distilled water

Thanks

Re: How is possible to have a great night on paper and still feel like garbage?

I'm with you Tyrone. It's possible. I've been on CPAP for 97 days. My numbers are great. My AHI runs between 0 and 2 Is it possible CPAP just doesn't work with all. Most rely on this post, but a certain number of posters tells us it's not working for them. I appreciate the believers attempt to help ...

I Have an Itch

Knowingly or not I occasionally insert my finger under my Nasal Mask, to relieve an itching situation, around my nose area.

Will this be considered an air leak

Will too much cause Mask damage

Washing my face and applying a face creme doesn't always seem to help.

Thanks

Re: Machine On & Off During Therapy

As to your question. Seems to me you don't want the machine running for an hour while you're not wearing it. That just adds to the machine's hours for no benefit. 8)

Thanks for your timely response. I'm also wondering if turning the machine off for an hour will effect your next morning numbers

Air Purifier

Any negative reason not keeping an Air Purifier in the same room as your CPAP?

Is there an advisable distance from the CPAP?

I'm thinking about purchasing the Holmes HAP424 series

Any opinion welcomed
