I agree with a lot of what you said and I have the added problem of massive allergies to dogs which I have and cats which my wife has 9 but who although doesn't live with me spends more time with me then do most married couples. I wanted to ask you if your humidifier is a hot one which I was told is much better then the cold one I have been using. I was told this by other posters as well as by the CPAP supplier today. I also will keep my CPAP hoses and masks much cleaner but my biggest problem is that the CPAP machine is sucking in allergen air from my already infested bed room and shooting these allergens directly into my nose and sinus. The alternative is no CPAP until I can thoroughly clean my room but no CPAP is a SLOW DEATH as you know.
