Are you saying you can't make it through the few hours of the flight without these?

I don't know about using the machine ON the plane, but you should be able to bring it with you, one way or another. We bring our cpaps with no problem (they do get inspected like everything else), and as a medical device, they're not counted as carry-ons.

You may not be able to bring a full water bottle through, but you can certainly bring an empty one and fill it once you are through.
