Anyone have experience with this?
You might consider a Bi-Pap machine like I have. It breathes with you instead of just having positive pressure all the time. Had the same issue until I got a Bi-Pap.

I use this appliance for mild sleep apnea. It works very well for me.

... and of course I set my own pressures. Don't need no stinking sleep study to determine what is best for me...

This doctor invites callers to talk sleep apnea experiences. Just listening may be as good as watching the podcast. It runs for about 30 minutes.

One thing i notice in this thread is sleep apnea in many cases is mainly a side effect of other health concerns.

I didn't know ResMed had dishwasher safe water tanks. About 17 years ago I stopped using a humidifier because of travel and water mess. My sister swears my her humidifier use.

I use the old style Fisher Paktel stand alone humidifier with the stainless steel removable base and 'o' ring. I take it apart, wash it out and reassemble it. and I use distilled water. Mine has a heated base that I can set how I want. My hoses and mask take a shower with me and I wash them with unscented anti-bacterial soap. Like I said, I have enough supplies to outlast me, masks, hoses, machine filters and everything else I need.

I would never consider putting my humidifier tank in a dishwasher, ever.

Thanks for your suggestions. Makes me wonder why none of the medical professionals I've consulted have mentioned the different machines. I'm going to try to find out if I can get a free trial from the company that supplied my Cpap.
