GoodKnight 420E for sale (save hundreds!)

I have a GoodKnight 420E autoCPAP I no longer use. It is in great condition and was used irregularly for approx 3-4 months. I opted for a Cflex machine. My 420E includes the heated humidifier. Brand new it costs $500 or more. I'd be happy to sell it for $100. I tried CPAPAuction but I don't think th...

Is it legal to sell a used CPAP machine

I have 2 CPAP machines I no longer use. Each one is practically new and used less than 3 months. Does anybody know, can I sell these on the "open market" or not? Thanks!

Deviated Septum & Bone Spur

I've had a terrible time getting CPAP to work for me, so I went to an ENT; they did a CT Scan of my sinuses. The doctor says I have a deviated septum and a bone spur in my nasal cavity, which is causing a blockage. She recommends surgery to fix/eliminate it. Has anyone had any experience with this? ...

Xanax

There is a reason Xanax is sold by drug-dealers on the streets. It's a powerful drug and for some people, it can become very addictive. It was extremely difficult for me to get off it (after taking it for only 12 weeks). I'd recommend you take it only when you really need it. Do NOT take this daily ...

My story

I also nearly wrecked - severe anxiety with depression. I sought help from many doctors and tried many meds. Finally one doctor asked me about my sleep. I got a sleep study - found out I had OSA - and discovered most of my problems were due to being sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation definitely cause...

Anybody using the new Teleflex mask yet? Looks great!

Is anybody using the new Teleflex mask written about in the press release above? You can see it at this web site: http://www.hudsonrci.com/ From the looks of it, it is very interesting and seems like it might be great. But you never know 'till you try it on. They don't show it actually on a person a...

You say: "That procedure sure comes with lots of excuses, seems you are always going to be the guinea pig. They are probably going to 5 cause 3 doesn't really seem to work all that well and their own data shows you still snore after the procedure." Listen, all medical advances come with trial and er...

I absolutely hated BiPap. Never could fall asleep with it. Horrible experience. C-flex gives an entirely different feeling. It makes it feel very natural. I have other problems with CPAP, but for sure C-flex is a better alternative for me.

Pillar

I received the Pillar Procedure. The procedure itself was simple and easy. Minimal pain or discomfort. No pain meds needed, just Tylenol. It significantly reduced my snoring and I believe it's helped reduce the number of apneas based on how I feel. But in no way did it cure me. I need to have anothe...

I don't need my Goodknight APAP any longer

Does anyone need it? It's less than a year old; used for only 3-4-5 months. I like my C-flex better. Is it legal to sell these things? Comes with the humidifier.

Getting desperate

Folks I've tried everything. After more than a year of trial and error, I finally found the right combination of mask and machine. The full-face mask along with REMStar C-Flex Plus works great and is comfortable. But the problem is, CPAP just seems to wake me up. I can never, ever get into a deep sl...

Total face mask?

Is the Respironics TOTAL FACE MASK new? Here is information:

At first glance it looks hilarious, but could minimize leaks. I wonder if there are any issues with the eyes being in a pressure bubble?

How Do I Change My Pressure on REMStar C-Flex?

No lectures please!:) What's the secret to chaning the pressure? My Goodknight came with clinicians instructions but my REMStar did not. My prescription is for pressure of 6 but 8 works better for me. Can someone help?
