This recall of bipap machines are literally driving me insane. i've been waiting for a new machine and have been using my old one to try to make up for things. Its been almost 4 months now and there's nothing companies can do. I'm worried and concerned because i've been up since 10 o clock this morning I got about 3-4 hours sleep last night than boom, no sleep whatsoever. The worst part is philiips are telling you not to use the machnine because it quite literally causes cancer. if I dont use my bipap machine I couuld have a heart attack and die. but right now? Its impossilble to do anything or sleeping in any way shape or form. I know nobodoy is online at this time of day to give amive and I have to wait another 9 or 10 hours but, I'm scared to death of going manic. I really am. i dont know what to do and I cant talk to my wife becfause she's in the bedrooom trying to get more sleep done.

I have a biPAP.*
I have never heard of a "cancer" connection, just a risk of infection if you don't wash the components every so often.

Is smoke entering the system or something...?

*I use the ResMed Air Curve 10.

"Philips CPAP cancer risk is linked to degraded sound abatement foam in recalled Philips CPAP, BiPAP and ventilator machines. Users can ingest or inhale foam particles and gases that may cause cancer and other problems. CPAP machines not included in the recall don’t have an elevated cancer risk."

My personal opinion on this is that Philips is probably more worried about possible future legal action. Since what kind of cancer it might cause is sketchy from what I read, any user who by happenstance gets cancer can sue them.

As the old saying goes, everything causes cancer. Meaning there's an endless number of things they say might cause cancer. But usually that's it could cause cancer if you're exposed to or ingest huge quantities of whatever.

Sometimes I am up on here at midnight, but yep, I was pretty much out last night. I am glad you got some sleep last night, but so sorry for your anxiety. That is a machine that helps the heart?

Father, I pray for peace of mind and comfort for Neo, and for his heart. Thank You that You are our healer and help Neo to rest in You. Please help the inventors to come up with something to help those with heart issues. In Jesus Name, Amen.

It's a machine that helps people breathe at night when they're sleeping. There's a recall and massive shortage going on right now. They're trying to fix all machines by September 2022.

Yeah I got 4-5 hours sleep extra. We just put on some Sproul and fell right asleep lol.

What about God? Where is He in all this? Is He not powerful enough to keep you from a manic episode?
