Water Additives

Posted by The Wolf on June 28, 2008 at 08:32:42:

I just found this site and can't believe that I didn't come across it a long time ago. I was diagnosed with OSA about 10 years ago after being misdiagnosed for years prior. I would complain to several doctors over the years about fatigue and lack of energy / desire to do the things that I used to enjoy. I always ended up with a new prescription for an anti depressant. Once they get that in your records it seems that they all stop looking for the real solution. Finnaly a doctor suggested that I may be tired because I wasn't getting any sleep. WOW ! I have had three surgeries on my throat and I still ended up with a CPAP. If I had to do it again I would skip the painful surgeries and go right to the CPAP. Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone has tried any water additives to enhance the function of the CPAP, such as eucalyptus oil or ? Is there anything besides just water that I can use? Thanks to all the people that have posted. It is a wealth of information.
