Sleep Test II? Need help!
My respiratory clinic at the VA I really believe is deaf! Anyone know what I need to make happen to get a second sleep test? My last was over 2 years ago and now I know the kind of questions I need to ask but they seem real reluctant to refer me. Probably budget cuts I'm sure but if anyone has any i...

Re: Distilled Water

They, the cigars, are a cantankerous bunch and demand good quality of life from we arsonists that flame them regularly. We comply......

Re: confused on the encore software for my M-series Auto machine

Re: Apnea and S.A.D.S.?
My lights are/were/still are (shudup!) pure white light. Of course first time I told the Dr that I'd go right out and buy the 'grow lights'! Heck I thought that was what he meant...after he sat back down from his panic attack, he clarified, "No, NO! Pure white light only!" Heh heh it was fun seeing ...

Re: Poll... curious about how many CPAP users smoke.
hmmm...guess I'd have to ask for a definition of "smoker". Most folks associate only cigarettes with that subject. I enjoy a good cigar a few times a day and do so now. So, guess I'd have to check the non-smoke category due to the lack of definition of 'smoke'. But I won't, because the voluminous am...
