Re: Irritating dentist drill sound from cpap

Thank you for responding, I went to my supplier/fix it people today and It looks like I am getting a new machine. I am supposed to get it in four-five weeks. For now, they gave me a loaner to use. I hope the new machine will be like this one, it is easier to carry on the shoulder and less bulkier.

Irritating dentist drill sound from cpap

It's coming from my cpap tank (where the humidifier is). I have never had this sound until like a couple weeks ago. It's the swivel part of the tank that is making the noise. Whenever I move my hose around, it makes that noise. I replaced my equipment and it's still acting up. I have ran the machine...

Re: In Case of Hurricane ...

Some people have mentioned in the past to have something that generates electricity (like a hand crank generator) for your cpap/autopap if you are unable to get power and unable to get to a shelter.

I live in WI, we don't get hurricanes so I can't give you many tips on that one. Sorry.

Re: Can ANYONE donate a AutoPap - This whistling is driving me

I heard a whistling sound when I tried the cpap for the first time. It was the mask and I stopped using it. I ended up going to DME and ended up getting a new mask. The new mask solved the problem. Maybe that's your problem? But If I were you, I would go back to the DME and ask them what is going on...

Re: Dry mouth help

xylimelts, ACT dry mouth spray and melts, Biotene products are good to use while using your cpap.

Re: Marks / Creases on Cheeks from Headgear

With me, I see them in the morning and usually put on my makeup like I normally do. Nobody has ever commented on the marks. Except for my mother and it's usually "I see the cpap mask strap marks on your face." But if it bothers you, try the pad a cheek strap covers and wearing your headgear not so t...

Re: Best tips that you received from this board?

So I am wondering what is the best tips that you received from posters on this board? Good idea to start this thread, Goldie! If it continues to go this well (DAYMX5's post notwithstanding), it's going to rate being pinned to the top of the index - a good resource for newbies to read through. Thank...

I have to admit, Even this board is sometimes interesting to view (the disagreements and all), I have gotten some very good tips from many of you. My favorite tips from the board that I have implemented in my CPAP therapy: The scrunci headband thing (I don't use to keep my mouth shut, I use it to ke...

Re: uses for old cpap hoses???

I dunno, I have always thrown mine out because they have holes in them. I guess you can use a bunch of them as shapers for boots and such.

Re: lincare complaints

Lincare was okay until I tried to switch DME's. I wanted to switch over to a local provider, in case of If I had one of those problems that had to replaced right away (Hole in tubing, etc). Lincare made it very difficult for me to switch over. I had to call their local number to get switched over (T...
