Sorry. Guess I'm pretty stupid.
Sorry guest it was a joke. An old one at that.

Use Fisher Paykel Oral
Oracle 452 with
humidifier--put the
hose up over my head and down my back. Have to sleep on my side because if I lie on my back the skin burns like fire even with powder and/or Vaseline Intensive Care.. Left hip deteriorating and is tender so have to sleep on the right side. Have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (to learn about this use Google--RSDS) effecting both feet and lower legs so the left leg has to be propped on a pillow. Use an inflatable round cushion under the right hip. Take 25mg Trazodone, 650mg Tylenol, 175mg Soma and 45mg MSContin (morphine) at bedtime (11:00 PM). Sleep well until 3-4 AM, get up to go to bathroom, wash the three pieces of the mask, take another Tylenol and sometimes another Soma, put the mask back on and sleep until 7:30 AM. No dreams. Very rare dreams for 20 years.
Extreme afternoon fatigue and falling asleep at traffic stops has ceased and I am as sharp as I should be at this age (made 54% on stocks last year plus average 7% dividends). See what
CPAP can do! Since switching to Oral
Oracle I don't get sinus infections, my nose isn't tender all the time and my eyes don't have to cope with air under pressure escaping from a nasal or full face mask.
Best of luck to all.
