You, or your pillow smells. You're used to the smells in the air at a distance, that's being piped to you by your cpap, and when you take it off, you're smelling the smells in the air right next to your nose.
You don't know that definitively. And nobody else does, either, from posts here and elsewhere.
Start your own thread for your issues, don't resurrect ancient ones.
This thread matched my search terms, and featured different issues which is why it brought me to post here. In the future someone else may do the same, and the info in this thread could be useful. ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF FORUMS LIKE THIS???

Based on your petulance I would surmise your CPAP therapy must be failing you.....?

Well, it makes far more sense than all the guesses you've made, about something *in* the cpap... which, if you try using even a *little* brainpower, would be something you smell *BEFORE* taking the mask off.

9 years, Last years AHI average, 0.15. You'd surmise wrongly, though your pathetic attempt at an insult would be amusing if it weren't so lame.

Chip - palerider can be a jerk. Someone says that to him in every other thread. There are lots of other people who would be more suitable to chat with. Best of luck.

Palerider, if you try going outside and not making the internet your life you might be happier.

Thanks, I understand - every forum tends to have a "Palerider", nothing new!

My bad, I thought you were here to learn something, I see now you're just here to show us how clever you are with 'insults'.

PR, chip is responding to you in kind. You don't get to start this kind of thing and then blame it on other people.

I don't normally respond to your trolling, but, as so often happens, you're wrong.

Lame insult from someone who wants to put down the person they're responding to.

chippy didn't like my response to him, which had no insults, or "in kind" anything.

The *fact* of the matter is that both our eyes, and our noses become numb to things they sense continually, and the sensation fades. That is scientific, proven fact. There are plenty of illusions out there that involve staring at a single point, and having other spots on a chart disappear *until you move your focus point*, Or staring at a black and white picture then looking at a blank wall and seeing a color after image of the picture, because the rods and cones in your eyes don't continually work, like a camera. Becoming numb to a smell that's constantly around you is similarly well documented.

People have repeatedly expressed a similar confusion with cpap, wherein they remove their mask in the morning and suddenly smell something they didn't... usually from their hair, skin, or pillow, because the scent is stronger right up close, as opposed to a few feet away, where the cpap is sucking in and filtering air.

Chip may not LIKE that answer, but it's factual.

Now, scurry back under your bridge.

PR, we aren't all the best judges of how our own behavior appears to others. I know I'm not always a perfect judge of how mine is perceived. More than a few people have noted that you can be gratuitously abrasive, especially to newcomers, with you even going to the extent of blaming *them* for your actions.

I know you are "important" here and a useful and generally knowledgeable regular who isn't always abrasive, so you can continuously get away with the times you are abrasive with new posters in this lightly modded forum. Even so, I don't think that makes your behavior ok, regardless of whether the mods give you a pass.

If I wanted to be "clever" with "insults" I could "show" people in a "way" that was more "obvious" and creatively "clever".

I've learned from you in your quizzically generous replies to me on The Other Forum, but also Jason and Pugsy. I believe I thanked you there, but I'll thank you again here: thanks.

Your turn.

Maybe it is the Hellmouth.
If you smell it, then it has come for YOU.
This thread was begun 11 years ago--so it is still a puzzle.
Some things are not for all of us to know.
