I've been looking at some of those nostril inserts, A different brand. Wondered if it might mean I could return to camping, sans batteries and cpap.

Good to know I can save my money. Shucky darn.

But thanks!

The sad reality is that most medicine these days is practiced by a checklist. If you don't check the right boxes, you won't get a sleep study. I qualified on all the stereotypical factors - obesity, age, snoring, fatigue, etc. But I did NOT, and still DO NOT have GERD. My doctor finally had to tell ...

That is sad about Medicare.

Maybe someone needs to lobby their congressperson? Oh wait, what am I saying...

You might want to try purchasing from our hosts - who are also a DME. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed-mirage-quattro-full-face-mask-headgear.html I purchase direct from them, then claim to my insurance myself. Saves me alot of time, hassle, and LIES, like the one you're currently experiencei...

I am a restless side sleeper, and I jam my face into the pillow. Most masks simply will not work for me. They loosen, they leak, they hurt, they drive me crazy and keep me awake. Several people on this forum recommended the Nasal Aire II to me. I resisted it repeatedly. I was NOT going to shove thin...

I prefer to call it "The Hoarder's Code".

Which also states that if you can't find it, it is perfectly acceptable to buy another one. And another one. And another one. And....

CF, that is a GOOD hotel! I used to travel with my father who was blind, deaf, and had trouble walking. If you saw him standing still, he looked like Tom Selleck and looked perfectly healthy. We used handicapped parking spaces and hotel rooms. Never ever had any trouble. But I was always on guard, r...

No one has ever asked me why I need a handicapped room. That hotel has some bad staff.

BTW, ANYONE can request a handicapped room. You are not required to state why, or prove your need. That's ridiculous.

James, I fully believe you're right about that!! Soon as I whine about something, or buy a replacement on Ebay, the first one shows up! The pure sleep can be used for many other things. Just putting some on a cotton ball and setting it around the house can be nice aromatherapy. I had a cannula that ...

I FOUND THE POWER CORD! And, amazingly, it was in a place I would expect it to be - in a zippered bag with some other cpap supplies. Now that zippered bag was at the bottom of a big pile of random crap, so I can understand that I couldn't find it. But I also got the one from Ebay, so I'll put one in...

What? Stormy you aren't sitting in front of your computer 24/7 making sure we're not worrying about you?

I suspected as much. Hey gang, let Stormy rest up.

Oh thank god! I've been waiting for troll season to open!

Now let's share our favorite troll recipes!

BTW, I'll always take hides. I do leather work. And a nice haunch of troll will freeze well and last me all winter.

LOL,
B.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! (Thank you Pugsy!)

Stormy, please, let the house go to hell. You deserve a break. I hereby give you permission to SLACK OFF!!!

So glad you survived. Hang in there, we're all pulling for you here.

Hugs,

Hey I'm a little late on this, but I want to tell you all that James, aka Jamiswolf, is a GREAT PERSON TO DO BUSINESS WITH! Not only did he respond promptly to all PM's, he paid the demanded shipping costs within minutes of me emailing said costs to him, AND I swear he put his fabulous trade item in...
