One thing I would not do is steal distilled water from the baby section to fill a CPAP, Nope. Even before a pandemic. That goes for other supplies, like wipes that are meant for babies/toddlers.
EDIT to clarify supplies

Re: ResMed 10 - On/Off button
So last night I dropped my phone directly on top of my cpap machine (ResMed AirSense 10). I didn’t think it did any damage till this morning, when I could not turn the machine off. I ended up unplugging it from wall. Has anyone else ever had a problem with on/off button? Or swapped out the on/off s...

Re: CPAP IN ISRAEL
Also, if you're staying in a "religious" accommodation, make sure that they won't have an issue with using the CPAP on the Sabbath (Friday night / Saturday morning), or on Jewish Holy Days. Since it is life-saving medical equipment, it should be exempt from this restriction (by religious law), but ...

Re: Stomach Slepers - What Mask do you use?
ResMed F20. Either the AirTouch or AIrFit. Now that it comes with diffused air elbow, Quiet Air, there is not much sound when face is buried in pillow. Also, downsizing the mask cushion helped me with it being too bulky but sometimes leaks air at corners of mouth.

Re: On/Off Button, Failure
I've traveled commercially with my ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset, many times. In returning from Phoenix yesterday, I found that the Power Switch on my machine is damaged. It feels different - No click; more of a mushy feel. It appears to be slightly more "pushed in" than normal. If I push very hard, I...

Re: Tomorrow starts no caffeine day 1 - wish me luck
I am down to about 1 espresso shot a day...I am a crappy addict and can't seem to nix it all, but I am substantially down from 2-3 cups a day I guess. Feels bad lol. It's only been a month, seems to me you are moving along, but not so much if your goal was "no caffeine" Let your body get used to 1 ...

Re: Tomorrow starts no caffeine day 1 - wish me luck
Using 200mg caffeine pills to come off. According to mayoclinic.org, the range of caffeine in 8 ounces of brewed coffee is from 95 to 165 mg. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20049372 Thanks, Yes this seems to support my decision to cho...

Re: ZITS!
THANKS everyone!!! This is sooo helpful! How do you wash your masks? Do you get the "memory foam" or whatever- sorry I sound ignorant i know- wet too? Last time i did that it took like 3 days to dry. Yes, I've washed mine (still unsure if this is a good idea or recommended) but mostly wipe it with ...

Re: ZITS!
I get pimples if I don't wash my face right after I wake up. Mostly because I forget if I don't. I use a Cetaphil type soap and "yikes" cold water, but that is only if there is no hot water in the pipes. Seems to reduce the mask lines as well. Depends on what I did that day but I often wash dirt, su...

Re: Riddle me this
Then, I have tried to change the mask fit to auto start the therapy without me needing to hit any button (I am used to it, it is sooo nice) but it does not work! Any idea why it wouldn't work? You tried to change the setting for "autostart" but the setting would not change or it did change to read ...

Re: Sleep Aid Recommendatios
The OP may PM me if they want to know what it is. if i may suggest it, a good way to avoid this altogether is for YOU to PM the OP. Good suggestion, I see "The collective wisdom of the group is greater than the wisdom of any one member (mainly me)." I reread the OP's ? and they prefer OTC.
