Default Answer to Humidity Issues Please
Pardon the double post, I couldn't think of a way around it!

I'm an Australian in Malaysia on the Equator with (often) 80% Relative Humidity.

COPD sufferers often move out to the DRY DESERT with 30% +/- Relative Humidity and find relief and get good results. I considered moving beyond the Australian Outback where Relative Humidity is much the same.

THEREFORE I invested quite a lot in DE-Humidifiers.
In the office I enjoy 50% to 60% RH (well it's a start!) and my breathing feels lighter. I use a Auto Adjust CPAP (APAP) for Sleep Apnea at night which is perched directlly above a DE-humidifier and it takes in air with lower %RH - gets a bit hot though!

BUT: Doctors say perfect air to breath is body temperature with almost 100% humidity - hence CPAP machines and Oxygen Generators all have HUMIDIFIERS! ALSO along comes therapy that gets results by blowing warm (almost) steam into the lungs!

I'M CONFUSED: -
1) How come opposites are getting results?
2) Anybody got any experience, input data re: the HUMIDITY & HUMIDIFIER/DE-HUMIDIFIER issue?
