Re: What about thunderstorms?
Use a good surge suppressor if you're worried about that. If it says not for medical equipment, they put that so that you won't be able to successfully sue them of something goes wrong (use it anyhow).

Of course, I have the good sense to use CPAP all night.
I'm pretty sure the same applies to me.

Re: Pros/cons of getting a new machine
What is not stated, but seems to be the case is (1) that you don't have insurance, (2) that you have insurance that does not cover a new CPAP at all, or (3) your insurance will not replace a CPAP that still works.

Re: Traveling with CPAP
OK, this does not sound like “it works here but not there.” It sounds more like it works sometimes and not other times. One thing I can suggest is that once you get it to power on, just leave it on (24/7) until you have to take it out of the house for repair or inspection. If you live in the U.S., m...

Re: Can Cpap postpone a likely MI? - I say "probably"

There's a more recent study that appears to indicate otherwise, but that study appears to be on patients who are only...

Re: Dream Station Humidifier Problems
Note that I find if I set the max humidification setting, all the water evaporates before I wake up in the morning. Thus, I sometimes get a burning smell due to an empty water chamber. Since I always wake up at least once for a restroom visit, I refill at that time. If you sleep through the night, y...
