Ouch. Is this a device with any function that might be improvised with existing stuff in a technical household?

Dnar mate.
I'm pretty sure I've still got my old machine.
I kept it as a spare, just in case...
It's big. Klunky and noisy as all hell compared to a new one, but if you want it till you get back on ya feet and can afford a shiny new one, PM me your address dude and I'll see if I can dig it out and box it up...
If in doubt... Give it a clout?
I thought about this too and just wished I had pulled apart the loan unit while I had it. Its impressive they can generate so much constant pressure/flow so quietly....
Not sure how reliable and safe a DIY unit would be, this is not something I would like to fail while I sleep with a mask on....
Off the Google DIY devices, surely someone has done this before.
EDIT: my first Google result was this video!!!!!!

On a serious note, just to drive home how serious Sleep Apnea is:
Over the weekend a good friend of one of my coworkers passed away due to chronic obstructive sleep apnea. He had been diagnosed for over a year, but didn't want to use the C-PAP machine because it was uncomfortable. He died in his sleep on Saturday. He was 57 years old.
Bottom line: if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, get treatment, and get it fast. It can (and will) kill you otherwise.

Sorry to hear that Adam

You guys are awesome. Huge grats and karma to you.
