It suddenly dawned on me the other day that I will be struggling with this for the rest of my life. This must be what living as a recovering alcoholic is like - living a day at a time in a struggle that never ends.

How often to replace tubing

RE: How often to replace tubing
I echo Big Guy's sentiment. If not for this forum, I would have quit long ago. It seems an endless struggle getting the mask right, the headgear right, the frame right, and choice of machine right. And that's before trying to get the doctor and sleep tech to understand the problem. These experts who charge for their "specialist" knowledge do not themselves have sleep apnea. Half the time it seems they're just googling the answer!

For what its worth, I no longer find this a struggle, and it was this forum that set me down the right path.

I change my hose whenever they send me a new one. It's an integral part of the delivery system. I'd prefer to err to the side of cleaner/newer vs saving a couple bucks.

I've been replacing mine every 6 months along with my mask, but that's what insurance will cover.
