Re: Some questions about nasal pillows?

Re: Mmmm K...Now I'm so happy I'm annoying myself

That is how I felt in the first week or so, I even felt that even my brain was awake but my body isn't fully awake. It finally become 'normal' . Normal in a sense of having good sleeps throughout the nights. Waking up not tire.

Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

There is more than one companies can make good xpap machines. My titration was done in a sleep lab with a Fisher & Paykel and I found it was very comfortable to breath. There are choices out there.

Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

You know what Resmed will do next? Order all internet vendors to sell their products on par with your local DMEs. Just give them an idea to piss-off more people.

Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

People buying products from the auction site are taking a risk with a product without warranty. Maybe it is the only way to be able to afford the treatment. I have insurance with very low deductible ($25/year), I can afford the equipment for now. However if I lost the coverage due to retirement or o...
