sleep apnea

I have been on the cpap for 5 days now and do not notice much difference.
Some say it takes a couple weeks.
This is a loaner for a 1 month trial .
I believe it is set to low and they will have to adjust the pressure at the end of the trial period.
Its set at 7 mg

I was under the impression that "they" adjust the machine to what works for you. Are you having a sleep study done?

Yes I am.

I stopped using my humidifier due to the humidity collecting in the loop in the hose and causing a trumpeting effect.

Anybody else having that problem?

I agree with what Topher said, your humidifier might be set too high dependent on the humidity in your house. Since getting a new heating system in the house this summer, I find I use less water every night. I have mine set right now at 3 out of 5 and use maybe 1/3 of the reservoir in an 8 hour sleep. At the camp the same setting will use 3/4 of the water, probably due to the drier air from the woodstove.

Might want to check the owner's manual for the generator, it will probably specify not to use it for a CPAP machine, general wording, "not for use with any medically necessary devices".

Have you ever heard the sound of 3 guys on CPAPs, in a cabin, when the generator goes out? The movie Twister comes to mind. :)

That is funny. Three guys in our camp do the CPAP thing.
