A few months ago I kept waking up from vivid dreams and feeling like the mask was glued to my face. The worst part was this buzzing awareness of the machine, I couldn’t un-hear it. That mental noise just wouldn’t shut off. What helped me was adding CBD oil about 30–40 minutes before bed. It didn’t k...

MADs can work well for mild OSA, but with TMJ it’s a gamble. I tried one a while back—helped a bit, but my jaw was pissed off the whole time. Definitely talk to someone who actually knows both sleep and jaw stuff (not just a random dentist calling themselves a sleep expert). If CPAP’s working and yo...

That burning smell isn’t normal at all, especially if it’s waking you up and irritating your nose like that. I’ve been using CPAP for years and never had anything close to that. If it’s been going on for 2+ years , nd getting worse, I’d honestly push hard for a full machine replacement, not just sup...

Yeah I get that too sometimes, feels like the second I relax, my nose just shuts down. For me it’s usually from laying flat or dry air. Try a wedge pillow or bump up the humidity on your CPAP if you haven’t already. Also, quick rinse with saline spray before bed helps a ton.

I went through something similar a while back, insomnia that came out of nowhere, followed by full-on panic just from the idea of not being able to sleep. It's wild how quickly the brain can start associating bedtime with anxiety. What helped me break that cycle at first was also medication, and I t...

Sorry for reviving this thread.

Can I get a recommendation from those who tried medical cannabis? What's better for sleep, CBD or THC?

you'll need a compatible DC power converter, like the ResMed 65W DC Converter, which adjusts the battery’s output to the correct voltage for the AirMini. Make sure the converter has a 12V cigarette lighter-style socket to match the Freedom Battery Output

Whatever you do, prioritize keeping it in a water-proof and dry bag. There's 2 main options you can choose from: >Either you bring enough batteries to last you your whole trip and change them when one is dying >Or Bring a Portable Solar Panel Recharging station or something similar that will allow t...

It's not that used in my opinion, so here what I am thinking.

>If your insurance is covering a new machine then go for it, and keep the old one as a backup, you never know when or who might need it.

And don't forget about the frauds committed by and against Medicare. Those are everywhere now. Just took a look at this list made by a law firm. It's scary.

My husband started using a CPAP in 1992. The hoses were 3/4” in diameter. When I ordered new hoses about three years ago, I noticed that the diameter had shrunk to around 1/4” in diameter. It seems to me that this would have a direct effect upon the amount of air coming through the machine and reac...

Hi, My name is Frank and I’ve been on Cpap for 20 years or so. Use My Resmed AirSense 11 (this is probably my 4th or 5th machine) with F20 mask nearly every night. I average around 7hrs a night.I used to use Quatro mask but switched about a year ago. Doctors always thrilled with me. AHI for years b...

Last night my Philips Dream Station woke me up with a loud bubbling sound and most of the water was on the nightstand. Cleaned it up and refilled and went back to sleep. 3 hours later the exact same issue. Any ideas? Thanks It might be a seal issue or the humidifier chamber not sitting properly.

I've struggled with back pain, particularly after starting a new medication that disrupted my sleep pattern. Like you, my pain varied in intensity and location, making it hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. I tried several home remedies, but what really made a difference was physiotherapy....

Well I just got home from my DME after barely surviving a miserable week-end when my S8 Autoset started acting up. After nearly two years of flawless performance from the S8, it just shut down with the "check hose" warning. After much finangling on Saturday, I finally got it to work in CPAP mode but...
