im in the same boat... it seems like humidifiers, whether on my machine or in the room always seems to give me and my family sinus infections... im not sure if im blaming the humidifier when something else is the problem, or if it truly is the humidifier thats causing it... i havent found anything o...

**UPDATE** thanks for all the comments, guys. Since my original post, i got SO congested that decongestants werent working AT ALL... Like one poster said, the afrin was just hitting the front part of the sinus cavity and was rendered ineffective. I opted for Sudafed, and after 120mg immediate relea...

Are you saying that you've been more or less continually dosing with Afrin? And are you stacking doses of stuff like Sudafed on top of that? Have you tried the nasal steroids? Have you been to an allergist? yeah i have to keep a bottle of afrin in my pocket and use it 6 to 7 times per day, includin...

Hey guys... Long time since I've posted (or read). Have had success with/ cpap since i started it a few years ago, but I do have some issues. I've been diagnosed by an ENT as needing surgery for deviated septum, turbinites, and whatever else they clean out or fix with endoscopic surgery. All I know ...

[quote="Anonymous"]hi everybody! got a question... i've heard a little about sleep debt, and if i've had this problem as long as i think i have, it'll take a while to get caught up, but i wanna know if my problem was common... i'm still extremely tired... i think i'm sleeping better since i dont tos...

Hi all. Thanks for checkin out the post. I'm having some trouble getting my comfortlite 2 to seal properly. everytime i adjust the nasal pillows, i get a small hiss. its nothing major, but i'm just afraid that any leak is a bad leak. i've tried a number of things i've seen on the forums, and none se...

I think this process is just terribly frustrating. The sleep clinic hasn't told me anything! I had a sleep study, the doc called me ,"you have sleep apnea, schedule another sleep study". I did, was told to wait. Apria homecare called me, handed me a cpap and a manual, I picked a mask randomly (I to...

RestedGal, thx for the encouragement!! i actually DO have a comfortlite2, or what i've come to call the Comfort LEAK 2!! i've had so much trouble with pillow leaks!! i read your post about using pantyhose around the center of the face/head to hold the mask in place (the one you posted a pic with), s...
