Re: REMstar C flex plus DC cable

Despite bitterly complaining to my Sleep Specialist Doctor, who had no clue such a problem existed for CPAP users, He suggested I use another machine and sent me to a "durable medical Provider". He talked me into purchasing the new REMSTAR DS560. Nice small package, but to my horror, when I read th...

Re: S9 battery pack recommendations

Hi folks, I bought a werker 80 amp hour deep cycle battery thinking that at a setting of 9, I would use about .95 amps and hence 8 hours would be about 8 amp hours. It would help if listed exact models - I'm assuming the Werker battery is AGM; this makes a difference in a lot of details. Also, I'm ...

Re: More Doctors are now taking medicare than accepting private

While you and I are pretty up on our healthcare needs, etc., do you realize how many millions of Americans, especially the elderly on Medicare, are not? It's why diabetes and high blood pressure and heart disease and all their related conditions are so prevalent. People simply mismanaging and not c...

Re: More Doctors are now taking medicare than accepting private

So it doesn't matter whether you like the Dr, or whether or not you feel the Dr. is working in your best interest, just as long as they get you signed up with a Doctor. Note the underlying assumptions often present on the posts on forums such as this: 1. Any doctor with a credential is sufficient G...

Re: 90 day checkup with DME

So...I go yesterday for my 90 day checkup...this time I thought I might me a smart tale and bring my MacBook Air with Sleepyhead in it. She was totally at awe at what the program can show! She takes my card and I ask her to bring a copy of my report back to me. When she returns I get this piece of ...

Re: S9 battery pack recommendations

Take a good hard look at the solar charging scheme. You probably already know it's expensive, and you need a pretty high output to support the nightly use of an S9. You may want to consider buying a Respironics CPAP. Some users report their power consumption is much less. Yes - I forgot to mention ...

Re: OT::: Obama Complicit In Syrian Gas Attack?

Rush Limbaugh suspects Obama conspired with Al-Qaeda to frame Bashar al-Assad. Says if its true, it's the biggest set up of all time. You got any more of this "garbage" you'd like to post out of context??? Your post is distorted BS and gave the uninformed liberals a big bogus target to scream about...

Re: S9 battery pack recommendations

First thing is you'll need to power the S9, which needs 24 Volts, either using the normal AC supply with an inverter, or by getting the DC-DC converter (12V to 24V) from ResMed, about $100. Both the inverter and the normal supply are inefficient, so using them together is likely to add up to 30-50% ...

Re: OT - Obamacare

Given the total dominance the Church had in Europe, it hard to give them credit without also assigning blame. One wonders, for instance, how much more science might have come out of the Jewish community, had it not been for the almost continuous persecution by the Church. Were it not for the Christ...

Re: OT - Obamacare

I would also point out that while its true that many of the Renaissance scientists framed their work in a theological metaphor, the classical philosophy and mathematics that dominated western thinking for two thousand years did not. At quick read that looks like a critical statement. But on contemp...

Re: Obamacare Is Not About Healthcare

There are enough blatant falsehoods in this to expose it as total propaganda.

Exchange participants must submit their tax return, Social Security number,...

Re: Obamacare Is Not About Healthcare

Point missed USPS is losing money, UPS AND FEDEX are making money, even more by farming out delivery to the USPS, so the tax payers lose even more $$$. The Post Office doesn't receive any government subsidy. They do get some benefits, such as the ability to borrow money and not pay any taxes, but o...
