Only a tiny percentage of the microbes around us are capable of harm. Most contribute to the biome that is necessary for life. Some are essential to maintain our immunity. The children of clean freaks are the most likely to succumb to normally survivable ailments, due to their compromised immunity....

Thank your Very much for your detailed & informative reply.. I'm throwing it out now. I did use it yesterday prior to some yardwork, I was breathing easy as could be. Today I'm so clogged up, I feel like I have plugs in my nose. Guess I have to ride this congestion out then.. One day's use *will no...

The system is so broken . . .
We just have to do whatever we need to in order to survive.
And bitch very loudly about it.
Especially to those responsible--or whoever is watching them.

Thank God the rest of the medical profession doesn't adhere to your line if thinking.

You are of course entitled to your opinion on just about anything in life.

Ever hear of cpap rhinitis?

Being overweight is now often thought to be a result of OAS, not the other way around. Have you read the latest on vaping? It's considered to be very damaging very early on and was not tested in asthmatics, more so in generally younger otherwise healthy people. You need to stop yesterday if you're ...

I have a very used (3+ years nightly use) ResMed S9 that I can't sell or donate to any site I've visited because it's more hours of usage than what they allow. Does anyone know of a place that will take it? I hate to just throw it away when people in need could use it. If you know someone in need, ...

Obviously he's venting, frustrated, probably not feeling well and is severely disappointed. Some of you need to be a little kinder. It took as much or more effort for you to reply in a snotty manner than it took him to post. As an aside, and this is the second time I've posted this in a few days. G...

Getting used to CPAP was THE. ABSOLUTE. HARDEST. THING. I. HAVE. EVER. DONE!!! But I did it. Took me three weeks, during which I contemplated throwing the machine out the window about 82 times. I also wanted to stomp the mask into smithereens several times a night. I no longer can sleep in my favor...

Just tried 2 hours with a straight pressure of 20. No snores, AHI 4. Mouth taped, no neck brace.

Tonight I will try 12>18.

You are on your way!

For now, I suggest you commit to practicing every day while awake. First, I want you to examine the mask carefully. The Resmed Mirage Quattro has an anti-asphyxiation valve. (You don't need one on a nasal mask, because you just have to open your mouth to avoid asphyxiation :wink: ). Right above whe...

Originally my machine as set at 4 ramping up to 12, I felt 4 was to low and 12 was to high, when I returned to the Hospital they reduced the max to 10. We really need to see what equipment you have. It's important to know the model to see if it's an APAP or a straight CPAP. I have now tried sitting...
