Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner

One question I had though, is it ok to take the humidifier tub out of the machine while it is in cool down mode (still pushing out a low flow of air with the snow flake symbol on the screen). It seems to take about an hour to 1.5hrs for it to cool down of a morning and I can't really wait that long...

Re: Sudden burst of CA's because left arm was out of bed!

It was only a one-off observation. It certainly wasn't a one-off. The mold and its curative properties had been observed for centuries. Fleming was the first to identify which substance in the mold had the bacteria-fighting characteristics. It was a decade later that a team of scientists that did n...

Why do people worry about such one-offs as this?

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner

I use Dove Hypoallergenic Beauty Bar, which is probably from a chemical refinery. Be careful. It contains dihydrogen monoxide. WHO estimates DHMO kills 236,000 people annually. Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO, SF Fig. 1.1) is a chemical compound that is commonly used in lab investigations. This chemical ...

In the entire 190,000-year history of homo sapiens, there has never been a case of this statement settling a debate.

Re: Understanding readings

I am reading that the CPAP does not treat sleep apnea it just allows the patient more O2 to sleep better. Burn that damn book. The author is a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of not one good quality. Stick around. Members will be along to help...

tried different masks and cushions etc but still trying to find the right combination
Whichever mask you are using, find that model on YouTube and watch some videos on fitting and adjusting.

a used machine
If it were me, I would look at the general condition/cleanliness of the machine and give it a good sniff test. Was the appearance of the person I bought it from decent? Were his fingernails clean? Replace the air filter. Use the machine.

Either P10 nasal pillow or N20 nasal mask
This is symptomatic of leaking air through your mouth. It will cause dry mouth. No CPAP humidifier can overcome this.

After all these years, you are still depending on other people to do that?? Get busy and take control of your therapy. No one has more at stake than you.

been cleaning the mask, tubing & humidifier tub once per week
Overkill. I use tubing for years without cleaning. It doesn't get dirty. I wipe the mask each morning with an alcohol swab. (I don't use the humidifier.)
