Re: Hose Cleaning...Why?

Small humid place = growth of anything in there that can grow. You are lucky your hose is not contaminated with anything that can grow in it. Be grateful and keep an eye on it. :) Since the So Clean incident I have been washing it daily, prior to using that So clean once a week was fine. I am still ...

Re: 4 months and still struggling - what is wrong??

How I learned to stop worrying and Love the FFM I had great difficulty with nasal CPAP. I also did not want a FFM. I eventually was forced into using one just so I could breathe at night. The one that worked for me is the Mirage Quattro. it comes small medium and large. It isn't as bad as you might ...

So Clean review and info

I was not impressed with their informativeness by emial. I emailed to ask about how it connects since they do not show it directly in any video. You can see it if you know what to look for but there is no vid that shows the connection point and how it works with a humidifier that I could find. It ju...

Re: Is my local DME crooked or is this normal?

The place to report such things, you will actually have to file a complaint, is with the Attorney General of the state the business is in. I had a horrible time with supplies,they never had any on the shelf though each of them promised they would if I became a customer. The first one made me use one...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

I finally got the RMA# email from the dealer. He was a bit miffed apparently the Attorney general put the fear of god in him. I think I mentioned previously that I had found reviews that indicated he messed around with returns to other customers never refunding their money. Looks like he was using g...

Re: Sore throat - Chin strap, tape?

Seems like I need a more specific description of what OP means by "sore throat" cause my first reaction is have the doctor say whether or not this "sore throat" is of the infection kind or if it is irritation from something else like the CPAP.

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

Thank you Sheriff. I intend to make a review thread with all I find out, especially about how to return them. I accidentally came across a yelp page about the dealer I am dealing with and they seem to rip off people on things when a return comes up. Apparently they have even gone so far as to issue ...

Re: Ketogenic Diet (Keto) - Ineffective and Dangerous

Thanks for this. Moderation in all things. The idea that self reporting is "horribly inaccurate" is a canard just as dangerous as the ketone diet fad. Your body does not convert protein to sugar. It converts carbohydrates to sugar and then fat if it is not used quickly enough. Most people, especiall...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

just spoke to SoClean and the dealer is supposed to get me the RMA# to return it! The lady did act stupid and pretended to be having a hard time hearing me at first but responded to every word I said when I offered tips like "make sure your connection is good" she said she turned the speaker up I sa...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

I bought it on 10-23-18 so I should be OK. Thank you for that! I think I am going to like this site. :D Oh yea what about the $30 filter kit scam they never mention!? EDIT- The woman who answered tried to scam me telling me I had to return it to the seller! After I told her they probably would not h...

Re: High CO2 - Please help

I have heard they do supplemental oxygen with CPAP use for some people. But that will cost and require doctor visit maybe a new machine. Can you do something to improve your wind? I mean like doing cardio which by its nature makes you breath harder which eventually increases your lung capacity and o...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

I spoke to the dealer who was a real jerk about it. First he made the point of telling me he won't take the thing back if I opened the box and used it. Then he long windedly offered to contact the manufacturer and asked me what my reason was for returning it. I said it doesn't clean and the residual...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

Well it is morning and I feel normal. No urge to clear my airway, nothing abnormal that I haven't had to deal with every day for all the years I have had my CPAP. So based on my own anecdotal evidence I'd have to say the residual Ozone in my equipment was doing me harm. IDK if its the ozonated water...

Re: Tea Tree Oil

I tried a shampoo with it in it. I liked it and coukldn't find that shampoo again. I bought a bottle of it at Rite Aid and when I opened it all i could smell is turpentine. If that is what tea tree oil is supposed to smell like then I cannot imagine it would help your sinus. An ENT I saw back in the...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner

I didn't have a good experience with them via email trying to figure out if it would work for my machine. That took about a week. They play a good game of making it seem they are helping but never actually directly address anything, Very much like a con artist used car salesman or bad politician. I ...
