It seems like I am sick with colds more often when I'm on the CPAP. Anybody experience that.

I have been lucky. Not one cold past three years. Could some of your problem be allergies?

I do have non allergic rhinitis. Now I'm thinking that's probably it because I only feel that way for a day or 2. Thank you

CPAP seems to cause stuffiness in many of us. ANother reason I hate it so much!Do you rinse your nose with saline once a day…maybe before you go to bed for the night?

I've been doing well. I think you were going to try the cpap without humidity- did that help at all? I haven't had a cold for a couple of years.
