Re: Sleep Clinic a racket???

PA's and NP's are like any other profession...there are good and not so good. (Hopefully not "bad".) In my experience the PA's I have run into have been excellent. In most cases they spend more time with me that the doctor. Since Obamacare there are many more people with insurance...that has made it...

Re: anyone have a nightmare to share about their sleep study?

I actually had a very pleasant experience. Perhaps age had something to do with it. The technician was very kind and asked several times if I was comfortable.

From my experience, the "resp. therapist" is just a CPAP sales person.

Re: Where to sell a used CPAP machine?

I'm not sure where you people are coming from, but I ordered a CPAP machine online from Amazon, without having a prescription. Unfortunately the doctors are so ruled by the insurance companies that they can't write their own prescriptions anymore, and I was tired of having sleep study after sleep s...

Re: Heated Hose

I thought the Airsense 10 came with BOTH hoses - have to admit I didn't notice the non-heated one at first but it was there, tucked away in a pocket in the bag ... are you sure that, like me, you haven't just missed it? The machine did come with both hoses...I just wondered if I could use the heate...

Heated Hose

I just got a new Airsense 10..Can I use the heated hose that came with the machine as a regular hose with no heat or do I need to change off with my standard hose?

Carbonman you sound like my kind of guy...hop on the bike and let the worries of the world pass by. Not like this lonely engineer that is giving everyone grief. Can't believe what I have been reading...time to pedal away.

Hi Okie.....On the picture, we were at a fund raiser ride. I was sitting on another biker's cycle to see how it felt. Personally, ...

New Old Guy Here

I just joined this group, however, I have been reading posts for about a year. I am impressed by the knowledge many of you posses, and your willingness to share it. I have been on the machine for about 2 years. I had some issues the first few months, but I overcame them and have been a happy camper ...
