Hogwash aside, JonBoy started this thread in 2012. It's sometimes interesting to see where these people end up. For 4 years, JonBoy was absent here. Then he came back here in 2016:

4 years ago I was diagnosed via sleep study. I bought a Phillips Respironics REMstar A-Flex and after using it a month or two I gave up on it because it was just too annoying to use. Now 4 years latter I am feeling my apnea worsening. The unit I have was sitting in a damp wet basement the last 4 years. It may have even sat in a little bit of water (not sure). Do you folks think this is safe to use? I'm concerned about mold, mildew etc.
I would hate to have to buy a new one or even worse go get another sleep study.
Who knows where JonBoy is today. My guess is not in a very good place.

If your color were really 'off', your doctor would have noticed, or responded to your question about it.
Picture yourself healthy; using your CPAP, and otherwise following ALL your doctor's recommendations.
Let your inside work on your outside.
Sometimes a really wish I were a woman, that way I could wear lipstck and paint my nails and stop obsessing over that stuff
I have a friend who has a skin condition making his skin look bright red all the time. He discovered younique makeup and now sells the stuff on facebook and spams me all the time :lol: Anyway just wanted to say there is no reason not to put on a natural tone lipstick or even black nail polish. People will think your trendy. Its not like it was back when I was a kid. I doubt many would blink an eye in todays world.

Edit : whoops this is an old thread.
