sleep apnea

[JUDGE]

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.

Lets change it up a bit.
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.

With 3 guys on them in our group we do the same. The Genny runs all night both at deer camp and when we do tent based moose hunts out West. My 3000w Honda runs 3 machines nicely and the others rather hear a genny than 3 guys snoring.

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.
