Re: ADVICE PLEASE from Dreamware FFM USERS…

Thanks jpop for your ruminations. I've changed the title of this thread to make it a little more clear that I am seeking advice from cpap-talkers who are USING the Dreamware FFM successfully. Sure would appreciate some tips and advice from folks who like the mask and are successfully using it. Best ...

... I thought about cutting some small slices above and below the kink so as what ever jaw movement was causing it to move and leak wouldn’t promote the hard bend and leaks.
Did you try it? Did it work?
Can you please elaborate on your experience after you thought about it? :?: :?: :?:

Re: Respironics DreamWear Full Face Mask Review

Seems that I am late to the party over the Dreamware FFM but I would like to jump in anyway. I have been on CPAP since December 2011 with a diagnosis of central apnea and have gotten really good results with a ResMed 9 VPAP ASV and recently it was replaced with the new ResMed 10 ASV. I have fallen i...

Re: Bull on CBS - Season 3 Episode 15 - "Security Fraud"

Years and years went by before I took a sleep test and was diagnosed with sleep apnea! I didn't have a clue! So sorry. The medical profession needs to do better. Every physical exam should include a questionnaire about sleep, snoring, fatigue, excess sleepiness during the day, etc. Luckily, I never...

Re: bathroom trips

Unless you are remaining hooked up and taking the machine into the bathroom with you, I would recommend turning it off. :lol:

Re: Body in decline from Sleep Apnea / Surgery denial by Insurance

As a retired attorney with long term friends who are now retired physicians, if there is one thing we all agree on it is this: Never trust the "rates of success percentages" quoted to you by a surgeon, especially not a surgeon who relies on that particular surgery for a significant portion of his or...

Re: Bull on CBS - Season 3 Episode 15 - "Security Fraud"

Luckily, I never fell asleep in court hearings, trials, settlement negotiations or meetings with clients; but from time to time, in the evening after a long day at work, I had to attend board meetings of various organizations, and I was reminiscing the other day about how I fought to stay awake in t...

Re: Forgot how to turn on "red line" in SleepyHead

I tried to search for the answer but didn't succeed. With my new machine, I chose to create a New User in SleepyHead but the red line fails to show up at the 24 mark and I always liked that. I know there is a way to turn it on in SleepyHead because it still shows up in my old User file, but after f...

Re: “Motor life exceeded, please contact service provider."

I received my new machine - a ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV - in early January, from my regular Medicare-assigned DME supplier - Verus Healthcare and am very pleased with their service and with the machine. I would have gotten it sooner but my sleep doctor forgot to sign the Rx before sending it to them an...

Re: Wow at DME are $80 cpap bed pillows, for sleeping on worth it ?

Yes I am high pressure and I tried mask fit at full pressure. We will see how it goes tonight when I am laying down on my very old, squished pillow. :lol: No the pillows were not like those listed. The less expensive was similar to the one pictured below but the more expensive on was really ajustab...

Re: “Motor life exceeded, please contact service provider."

This is amazing. I emailed my national mask supplier and within 15 minutes they called me back and are on the case to get me a new machine to the same specifications. I was concerned about this because I have central apnea not obstructive and my machine is a ResMed ASV, and the new doctors that just...
