I want to have some vanity issues. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, who's that old broad? I once started to take a phone picture of the cat doing something silly on the bed and had the photo thingy switched around so I was looking at myself. Ew. Not attractive. Just being honest, with the silent "h".

When my tank runs dry, I can immediately tell because I get that funny smell from the tank. No heat, but the smell is there. It has always been hard to describe, but one poster hit the nail on the head... Super glue... THAT'S IT!!!

I hate cpap, but the best mask I have found for me is the cloth mask by Circadance.

Does anyone else have vanity issues with being on cpap? I refuse to see what I look like on cpap because if I do, I will never wear it again!!! It was bad enough when a co-worker asked if I used it because he saw lines on my face. If someone could just invent a maskless, hoseless, non facial attaching cpap, life would be perfect!

Also, any suggestions on how to keep the hose from wrapping around my neck when I sleep?

Thanks
For most people vanity is not an issue...their health is.
I totally agree. Health and getting a good nights sleep is more important.
