What to know about CPAP machines?

I would say, enjoy it.

My sleep studies changed my life. The studies were uncomfortable and weird -- "Here, wear all these electrodes, go to bed a strange place with cameras watching you, and sleep normally" -- were they kidding?

But the outcome was worth it. I've now been a CPAP user for 20+ years, and I love the thing.

Thank you. I don’t wake up feeling refreshed and energetic in the morning. I hope the CPAP will help.

Wow. Did you happen to read about the Phillips company in the recent news?
I use ResMed, and the whole science behind treating Sleep Apnea seems shaky to me:
it's too indefinite for me. I get the replacement humidifier, and other parts, every 3 months,
and this recent humidifier doesn't seem to be working.

If Mayo has to send my CPAP machine off to ResMed in Singapore, does it really matter what ResMed tells me? I don't trust using a loaner CPAP machine. I'd have to buy a brand new one, which looks to be $1,000, and it would not be covered by insurance as far as I can tell.
