ive tried all sorts of pressures and put my cpap on auto Sounds like you are just taking wild stabs at the process now. Get the software, see what is actually happening at night (events, leaks, pressure swings) and then go about optimizing your CPAP process methodically. Plenty of people here to he...

I have to say I agree with him, best practices these days say not to use that. however, there is a difference, in that is trying to poison the bacteria and kill them, which, through evolution makes for stronger bacteria when some of the tougher ones survive and breed...

You need to use a flat pillow. Hubby has been wearing a soft spinal collar for years and never a neck or head pain. I occasionally wear one to relieve a neck pain.

Bumping for update: I flew at least three trips in the last couple months (all domestic) where I put the machine in my carry-on luggage and ran it through normal xray (no seperate cpap bag).
