User of C-Pap machine has advice for Carol Perkins Betsy Sharp writes: Carol, how long has it been since you have had an overnight sleep study, or visited your Dr.\'s office in person? I have used a C-Pap machine since around 1995. My machine that I just replaced did not seem to be doing the job as well as it used to and I kept waking myself up snoring, and I was staying sleepy during the day. Since I got my new machine I feel so much better. It is easy to use and easy to clean. (Once a week) After the C-pap person sets up all the info on it, all you have to do is put clean distilled water in it every night, put the mask on and it turns itself on. If you haven't got the nose piece in correctly it won't turn on. Also that being the case, you shouldn't snore. I am delighted with my new machine. I got it from Columbia Medical Equipment in Campbellsville. - Betsy SharpComments re article 77020 Carol Perkins After 500 consult still Sleepy in Edmonton KY 2015-08-13 05:10:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
