I'm sure there are folks that can't deal with it. Personally I don't like to sleep without it (hunting for example). But the effect it's had on my quality of life is absolutely amazing.

I actually lost 50 AFTER I started with it. I finally had the energy to do something. I didn't snore hard I would just stop breathing for 30 seconds or more then gasp all at once.

Gail is one of those. She's had a real hard time trying to get used to it, and only uses it on weekends because it keeps her awake.

Same here. I hardly need a bathroom scale. I know to hit the diet when my snoring starts. That and my sore ribs in the morning.

Back with a new hose.

Technician told me, "Oh, the ones that come with the machine aren't as durable as the replacement hoses."

Duh.....

Same brand, Phillips, but the spring coil is a slightly different color, so it at least came from a different lot.

Since the break is only about a foot from one end, I may put a new end on the old hose and get a coupler, then use it as a longer hose. At least until it develops another leak.

Like Marc referred to, I may lose weight as a result of the new-found energy to accomplish things when fully-rested.

We'll see what tomorrow brings....

And Marc, have no fear. There will be no sex while wearing the mask. Of that you can be assured!

Yep. It's strange how when I stopped snoring my ribs quit hurting when I woke up.

Went to OSH and bought a schedule 80 3/4" barbed hose coupler. Fits perfectly.

Cleaned out the old hose end and trimmed the broken hose, then screwed the end back on with a very-light coating of clear RTV.

I now have an approximately eleven-foot air tubing.

I will have to check to see if the extra length through the spiral tube affects the air flow significantly.

Hmmm, and that WOULD be a "very bad thing", wouldn't it?

It huffs. It puffs. It........
