Re: boil and bite mouthguard question

Is tape not working for you, to keep the mouth closed?

Re: boil and bite mouthguard question

Depending on the mouthguard, it can take valuable tongue space in your mouth, forcing it back into your throat, and, possibly, causing more apneas. So just make sure it doesn't cause problems.

Re: Newbie questions

Is it safe to boil my p30i mask in baking soda? I'm not certain it's made out of silicone. I'd love to get rid of the smell, it would make falling asleep so much easier. Can I do it with the hose? No! Don't boil these items. Alright:)) Any tips on how to offgas these faster? I tried soaking in vine...

Re: Chinese torture

I lost 75 pounds, from 300 lbs down to 225 pounds and my apnea went away. Unfortunately I gained the weight back so now here I am again. For me the apnea went away pretty quickly but that might be because I was on a really restrictive diet and wasn’t nearly as congested as before. What diet did you...

Re: How to remove perfume smell from inside machine.

Whatever you do, do NOT spend on a 'cleaner thing', especially one that uses ozone! SoClean's in court trying to prove they don't scam people, but that's all they do. The machines do nothing useful except wreck your Cpap (ResMed and other mfgrs advise against using them or forfeit your warranty), p...

If you haven't already, you might try changing the trigger setting to high or very high. I and others have found that this setting can mitigate reported CAs.
Do you know why it mitigates the centrals?

Re: Newbie questions

Is there a way to make the air a little cooler on this machine? I don't have a heated hose. I didn’t find anything in settings, maybe I missed it?
Also, what's the best way to clean the hose?

i can't think of any reason, maybe if for say 95% of the night you are breathing well above the set ti min, and you want to make sure you are taking longer/deeper inhalations for whatever reason.
There is no reason, short of lung diseases.
Thanks!
