Yes, Johnny and staff, let me add my congratulations. You succeeded in cleaning up the forum and at the same time maintained the ability of guests to post on cpaptalk. While I doubt we will hear an admission of, "Yes, we were wrong," from those who so strongly opposed allowing guests to post, I'm su...

So, don't fret if you're unable to stop mouth-breathing on your own. It may just be a matter of facial architecture. I guess I'll have to accept that, because I've tried all the suggestions. I realize it's not a big deal to have to tape, but hearing others have verifiable proof they've been success...

As a frustrated training-yourself-not-to-mouthbreathe wannabe, I'm curious if you know for a fact you no longer mouth breathe? I really thought I was making progress back when I was attempting to do this, but the data showed otherwise. In my search for a successful method, I came across this: Unders...

Hi dancingqueen. Here's a link you can click on to a thread all about taping. Lots of good info: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?t=9653 Here's a link rested gal created to information all about the Aussie Heated Hose to eliminate the rainout problem: LINKS to discussions about the Aussie heate...

3. Roll out the CPAP hose so it is near the bed ( I'm using 14 foot of hose so the noise does not bother my wife) Wow! Carl, did you adjust your pressure to compensate for that 14 foot long hose? By the time the air gets to your mask, you're no longer getting the pressure your machine is set for. A...

Thanks for answering my questions, mattman. As a result of your answers, I have a few more questions: 2) -Some DMEs use the same code for both APAP and CPAP and then bill the patient an upcharge for the APAP. You're saying this is legal and this upcharge is determined by the insurance policy and not...

Nah, it's too much to hope for. This is Hollywood, after all. They tried the Breath-Right strip and that didn't work, so next episode they'll probably "cure" her problem by sewing a tennis ball to the back of her pajamas... or he'll get ear plugs... and that will be the end of that.

mattman? Where are you?

Bumping this topic back up for mattman's reply to my previous post in this thread.

Thanks!

mattman, In another thread, I said I thought the same billing code was used for both APAP and CPAP. Your response was: There is a little bit of a very common confusion in what you are looking at and what you are asking. As is commonly referenced, Insurance Companies do not have a specific code set u...

I don't know, but I hope whoever gets attached to mine isn't quite so hairy... (Though, he does have a lovely smile...)

They made a Twilight Zone episode about that. They operated 11 times to make this woman look beautiful. Turned out they all had pig faces and she was normal. They exiled her to a place where others like her could live. LOL :twis ted: chrisp!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen your name in a long time!! How t...

Not much, anyway:
