After 4 months of dealings and pushing papers amongst 3 DME's, taking many peoples advice on this board from day number one to try to do whatever was necessary to get a " data capable " machine, to not give up the fight against the mighty DME's and to not get discouraged when dealing with the mighty...

I finally received a Respironics M Series Pro CPAP with C-Flex today, ( Respironics Model #DS400"S" ) which was delivered and set up by a DME today; DME #3 to be exact only after DME's #1 and #2 wouldn't agree to do it. _________________ CPAPopedia Keywords Contained In This Post (Click For Definiti...

(Drawing slowly out of silly mode, a difficult journey). My thoughts. 1) I am definitely independent, but not necessarily the other things I posted. 2) I agree there's a certain difficulty reading these jokes, because they always FEEL like a slam. We've all (no matter what our political affiliation...

you know, tossin' i really don't want to get into a pissing contest with you you obviously feel very strongly about things, just about everything it seems... What the heck are you talking about "just about everything"? There is no need to continue on making personal zingers. The first situation I p...

[quote="sharon1965"]you know, tossin' i really don't want to get into a pissing contest with you you obviously feel very strongly about things, just about everything it seems... however, i can't help but notice that you have only been a member of this forum for about 5 or 6 weeks, and already you ha...

[quote="jdetray"]Medicare has finally approved a new Bi-PAP machine and mask for me. I need help and advice about selecting a mask. Background: I've used the same nasal mask for almost 20 years. I don't mean the same type of mask; I mean the same actual mask for 20 years. You can see it here: http:/...

What was it called in 1985? And, Stevo, it was 36 degrees in Arkansas the day after the tornados in the area my son lives. Fortunately, they were some 60 miles or so from Atkins. Sorry but I have no idea what "it" was called in 1985 but as the now departed Mr. Rogers use to say "It's a beautiful da...

At the moment under sunny skies the temperature here is 49 degrees F with a forecasted high of 68 degrees F later today. I don't get to see much snow down in these parts so I imagine it's a pretty sight. Be sure to send me a postcard and you have a nice day you hear. Stevoreno Biloxi, Mississippi 02...

[quote="Slinky"]Personally, I would. When I bought a Respironics auto, despite only a $50 difference between the "tank" and the M Series I bought the "tank" BECAUSE of the dropped data "and" the "touchy" humidifier issue. I "may" be needing to switch to a bi-level and w/the bi-levels Respironics doe...

Is this missing data problem associated with all of the Respironics M series models, not including the older "tank" model, but all of the M series models which can record all night time data? I'm trying to get an M Series Pro CPAP with C-Flex through my DME but if the machines are not recording all ...

How about connecting a few X-10 home automation power modules rated at 15 amps each to each appliance which you could then plug into a grounded power strip which would of course be plugged into a grounded electrical power outlet; possibly one on a dedicated circuit. You could then use one of X-10's ...

Is there a good chance if a patient asks his or her doctor to write a script for a new CPAP or BIPAP machine and asks the doctor to write the script as specific as possible to indicate a specific brand, model number, etc. and for the doctor to sign the prescription to dispense as written, not to su...

[quote="TossinNTurnin"]Update: (synopsis: I had been given an Mseries PLUS by my DME. When I went to my doctor about "upgrading" to the MSeries PRO, I found out the original prescription HAD specifically asked for the PRO and said "NO SUBSTITUTIONS". So the doctor's office called the DME to get it t...

I had a 2 night sleep study done at an outpatient medical facility on October 24, 2007 and October 25, 2007. I had already requested that I be provided with a detailed copy of my study before my testing had even started. As soon as the doctor at the lab had interpreted my report and signed it I rece...

[quote="Bearded_One"]This sounds like the same person who posted in apneasupport.org, whose husband has an AHI of 2.

Is your husband using CPAP just for snoring? Is that why insurance wouldn't cover it?
