CPAP Water Tank, why?
Hi, I've been using CPAP machine for about 4 years and am now on my second machine after the old one wouldn't switch on. I have one query I've never been advised to use the water tank, what's it for? Thanks in advance.

Water reservoir
Further to my last post on cleaning your CPAP machine. As I do not sleep well, in the morning I always have a little water still in the tank, I add a drop of washing up liquid to this , with the addition of a little white vinegar, if you have no left over water , then fill up as usual with cool but boiled

RLS & more
I've partly got my RLS under control with a combination of medication (Ropinirole 2mg and pregabalin 25mg + 2 co-dydramal tablets) taken early evening. I also use a magnetic underlay on the bed. Most evening the RLS kicks in between 19.00 and 11.00. And usually ends after 3 to 5 Hours, though occasionally

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, probable ARDS and SEVERE anxiety
My Mum has been on ITU for 2 weeks now, after a severe reaction to a supposedly mild chemotherapy drug. While her other organs are fine, her lungs are in a bad way. Because it's such a rare reaction (supposedly!!), doctors aren't sure what will happen and how well she will recover. Apparently it's just

Sleep or lack of!!
Dear All We are hitting a new era of agitation in the daytime and at night. Daytime I am managing but the nights are exhausting. So looking to the experts ( you guys) for ideas to improve my husband’s sleep. I give his night time sedation (Clonazapam)at 8pm in the hope it will settle him. Put

Has anyone else got "floppy airways"?
My specialist has diagnosed me as having floppy airways and referred me on to a specialist in fixed airflow obstruction and Floppy Airways at a Wythenshawe hospital.

Newly diagnosed and treating ADHD
I am 41 years old and have struggled my entire life with sleeping issues, fatigue, depression, anxiety, OCD and eating disorders. It's been one of those figuring out which came first the chicken or the egg sort of situations and I thought maybe the sleep issues were the problem so the last few years

My Journey With RLS, Experience With Kratom
Hi! First time posting, but wanted to share my experience because I'm kind of on top of the world right now! I have battled RLS for many years, and imagine like most have felt helpless at times, felt like no one understands what it really is and won't take it seriously, and have spent countless hours

Sleep Apnea and Diabetes?
Hey guys, There seems to be a link between sleep apnea and diabetes, and I was wondering if anyone has actually experienced a sleep disorder? Can you tell me about what it was like having sleep apnea and diabetes at the same time and if a CPAP provided relief? Thanks This article goes into deeper
