Introducing Myself

Post by kelbel39 » Sat Mar 19, 2016 1:34 pm

Hello everyone -

I am a noob, just now undergoing a 3-day home test for apnea as ordered by my doctor. My brother highly recommended this forum as a place where he has learned a lot. So, here I am, and I will be around here lurking and learning. Thanks!

howdy... there's a *tremendous* amount of collected wisdom in the archives here. the search bar up by the logo doesn't always give the best results, but you can also search the archives here when using google, or other search engines, by putting "site:cpaptalk.com" in your search.

like, instead of asking "has anybody ever heard of this new dreamwear mask" and waiting for people to respond, you could pop over to google, and enter:

site:cpaptalk.com dreamwear

and get back tons of links to investigate
