Since starting cpap 3 years ago, I have only had one seizure. Prior to cpap, I had 3-6 a year. The only thing I was ever told was that my brain waves were abnormal. About 6 months ago, saw my neurologist and the same tests were done. Everything was normal. I like to think that my cpap is the reason ...

Got it all dried out. I put it on the machine backwards and ran it for about half an hour. Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks Will. I do have the software. It has been a lifesaver as well as this forum.

I got a new hose and though I typically don't wash it, I thought I should before first using it. I forgot to put the little plugs on the sensor line and I can see water in it. I am afraid to use it now. I don't want to damage my apap. Should I just buy a new one?

I have been diabetic since I was 7 years old(37 now). I took insulin once a day until I got pregnant at age 20. About 4 months into my pregnancy, they had me taking insulin twice a day and told me that I would probably never go back to taking it just once a day. They were right. I still take it twic...

Thanks!

I received my first full face mask a couple of days ago. I love it! No more taping for me. Unfortunately, I lost the booklet that came with it. It's the ultra mirage. Does anyone know a way to get this? Thanks.

Well, I was back to my dr 2 days ago because I was struggling to breathe yet again. He put me on 9 days of prednisone but said he couldn't keep doing that because it wasn't meant to be used long term. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and my blood sugars are running very high right now. I am taking...
