" I worry all of the time that my CPAP machine will break. I got an old used one because I don't have insurance either. Still cost $500. My mask is falling apart and I had to redneck engineer it. The masks online cost more than $125.

Hopefully someone will post a solution for us and if I hear anything I'll sure let everyone know. "
