My DME gave me a copy of dictation regarding my sleep study. I haven't seen doctor yet to get a chance to ask for the entire reports. My question is how do we factor in arousals and awakenings into the overall scheme of things? Obviously less is better but what is considered normal? I will copy what...

Congrats and a big round of applause for your success. That is why that ramp feature is there for people to use to help get adjusted to the pressure. And yes, sure wouldn't hurt to give the FF mask a try. You might like it better. Dry mouth more than usual may indicate mouth leaks or mouth breathing...

We would think that these doctors offices could use a bit of common sense but they don't. In this day and age you would think that if Ins A pays leaving Ins B to pick up the copay but the patient has already paid the copay oops, patient should have a credit balance. Pretty simple math and in the cli...

And your little guy is quite handsome and looks extremely intelligent.

Ahh, so cute. Thank you for sharing. They do grow up so fast. Seems like only last week that I was taking care of my newborn grandson. He is coming to spend 3 weeks with me next week. He just turned 7. Time does fly.

To Kathy: Which supplemental coverage and which primary? Medicare by any chance? If so PM me and I will explain the ins and outs. BUT in general if we all took the time to look at the tiny fine print on financial obligation page we all have to sign at the doctor's office or hospital we will see that...

Rooster if your reply about newbies and denial was aimed at me then I will just state that not everyone wants to give up after a week of treatment and go to a FF mask. Do I "need" a FF mask? I don't think so. I seemed to have conquered my issues and now having good stats and feeling much better. It ...

I agree, no way on the "Plus" unit. It is compliance only and will not give you any capabilities to use the software. Sent you a PM about pricing at cpap.com You need to read CPAP.com prescription requirements. Could someone please clarify but wouldn't this prescription enable a person to purchase e...

However, AVAPS machines are not at all inexpensive: https://www.cpap.com/productpage-bundle/ ... undle.html Quoted prices are supposedly cheaper than those manufacturer-imposed advertised prices. Unfortunately I have no clue how much cheaper. Little less than half of the required advertised price. ...

I stumbled on this site while a monkey fest was going on. I saw a great group of intelligent, helpful people who had a great sense of humor. Can't go wrong with a combination like that. Nice warm and friendly place to share ups and downs with. I learn something new every day and most often get a chu...

I don't under stand why people will post an item for sale and not state the price. They set a reserve so they know darn well what they want for the item, but they expect people to guess. I wonder how many people bail out just a dollar or two under the reserve? The only conclusion I can come to is ....

I use Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I did get a couple of "publisher not verified" messages which are easily ignored. Not sure if XP would flag the same thing or not. Very simple software to use.

BTW I sent you a PM.

You know I have noticed on my forum that the spammers have become sneakier. They will post in a thread and make a comment that includes some information (that is informative) that they obviously gleaned from the web, then they try to sneak their spam websites in their signatures. Trying to get by my...

Why would you try taping your mouth if you do not mouth breathe? Probably for the same reason I tried taping. To see if it affected the leak ratio at all. I would have sworn I wasn't a mouth breather and I probably am not full fledged but there was a significant improvement in leak ratio when I did...
