Re: What do you do with your old masks?
I filled a huge bag with all my old masks and headgear (large trash bag) I posted it on freecycle and no one replied so I put it out for the trash. I can't afford to mail masks to anyone so I try freecycle first and if no one replies, I throw them away. The last time I did this I used a huge red pla...

O.T. ADJUSTABLE BEDS
How do you keep an adjustable bed from the mattress moving over to one side, about 10" off the "box Spring" thing? Every day I have to lift the mattress back to the center of the bed and it's heavy. Also how do you keep the sheets and mattress cover from springing off when you raise the head of the ...

Re: correlation between apnea and A fib
If I take a calcium supplement that has magnesium in it, is that enough to prevent A fib? Another question, why would the cardio prescribe Diltiazem if my heart rate is only in the 50's? Isn't that asking for trouble? She said if I go into A fib again, instead of my heart going to 150 it would only ...

Re: correlation between apnea and A fib
My oxygen while sleeping seems to be okay. Maybe having such severe apnea causes A fib, but I wear my mask every night, so it was a surprise to wake up, take off the mask, and feel my heart going out of control like that. I got a ride to the ER and they said my heart was beating 160. It lasted 6 hou...

Re: CAN'T BUY COMFORTABLE HOSPITAL MASK
This is a disposable mask made for hospital use.
Of the other three, this one fits more comfortably.

correlation between apnea and A fib
MY cardio told me A-Fib and sleep apnea seem to be related. He said most people he sees with A-fib have apnea.
Has anyone else been told this?

CAN'T BUY COMFORTABLE HOSPITAL MASK
I recently was in the hospital with A-fib and they gave me a Fisher Paykel FFM to wear and told me I could take it home because they just throw them out after each patient. It was the most comfortable mask I have ever used. After trying to figure out which mask it is, I found out it is only sold to ...

how to use S9 auto without humidifier?????
I wake up every day with a headache in my forehead. It's a very nagging headache which doesn't go away very quickly. I'm wondering if it's from the humidifier? It's set on the automatic humidity with climateline hose. I'm thinking maybe the air is bothering my sinuses. Maybe the air is too hot? I do...

Does your dme do this?
If I order something on Dec.1, they ship it around Dec 10. Then they bill medicare on Dec.10. When I go to re-order my 30 days later, they tell me I can't order until the 10th becasue that's when they billed insurance. Shouldn't my 30 day re-order date be 30 days from when I ordered it previously? I...

Re: O.T. treating basal cell on lower eyelid
I'm going to get a second opinion at an eye center so see what their surgeon recommends. I'd rather have another surgery than use that awful cream.
