Okay, I don't think I'm getting sick... but something about wearing my CPAP today/last night is making my throat kind of feel that way.
I am due to clean it today so hopefully that will help it stop.

From what I've been reading this might be due to my mask and hose (and filter) being over a year old by this point. I might try cleaning it more often than once per week. Also I will talk to the sleep clinic about getting those parts replaced. I may need to pay for it but at least that's only a few hundred I think and not well over a thousand.
@Bel_tamtu you've been using the same filter for a year‽ No wonder.
@WizardOfDocs @Bel_tamtu oh, fuck, I read right over that.
Yeah, mine has a pollen filter that needs replacement or deep cleaning every three months, and a fine filter that's monthly replacement. @_@
Talk to me about options.
@jacel @Bel_tamtu the company I got mine from in the States said change the filter every two weeks
@storm is pretty sure that's a scam; she's keeping her filter until her supply company sends her a new one, and god knows when that will be (they said use it until you can't breathe through it, which is what Jarek has done, but doesn't sound like a great thing to tell your patients)
Good to know my instinct to change it monthly is not just me
@WizardOfDocs @jacel @Bel_tamtu mine look like this when I forget to change them for two extra weeks.
I keep on top of it now.
