Re: New Member - Struggling With CPAP

Try listening audio books. I plug headphones into my phone at night and turn on an audio book. When I started I used books I had already read but liked.

Re: STICKY...can't find distilled water? What can I do?

Make sure you boil your water a few min. Weird pathogens can live in tap water and /or well water. Don' take a chance, especially now..

Re: Covid-19 - Extra Protection from CPAP?
