Today is my first day on cpaptalk.com. My Doc suggested that I check it out. Just wanted to say hello.

Homeboy,

Welcome! This a great place to learn and receive helpful advice. There are so many experienced 'hoseheads' here that the learning curve can be very short compared to trying to do it all alone. Remember, there are no stupid questions or concerns. Every one of us have been new here and have asked many of the same things. Good luck in your therapy!

John

Click the user control panel in the upper left hand corner and fill in your equipment in your profile. That way people can offer help more easily when you need it.

Smart Doc. Some don't want us to try to get help from other PAPers.

Welcome.

SmartLink module works, but software doesn't, so I'm using SleepyHead. Thanks, JediMark!
