Doggone it Kevin, you done gone and reloaded D.H.'s Fodder Cannon, he has to ask these stupid things, because he can't think and reason on his own. Not that he will get any good out of his questions, he's still going to do as he think, if he ever thinks.

Why don't you just decide to leave the DME out of it and take charge of your own life?D.H. wrote:I decided early that I couldn't stand it and demanded that my DME supplier disable it. I always made sure that the replacement units did not have this feature enabled.
Do any long term users like the ramp (newbies should not answer)?
I turned mine off early on ... absolute waste of time. I'm usually out in zzzzzz land within about 10 minutes of putting my mask on.

Re: Just Curious: Do any long term CPAP users like the ramp?
When I first started @ 16cm I used a ramp of 45 min sometimes repeatedly pushing the ramp button to get another 45. Now I can't remember the last time I used ramp. But I also used a heated hose when I first started as I couldn't stand what I thought was cold. These days its just passover unless it is winter. But during the summer I wish I had ice cubes.
btw the room these days is no warmer than 60 if I can help it.

Haven't you learned by now that everything, and I mean everything, about cpap therapy comes with a really big YMMV sticker.
someone that's never learned ANYTHING. to learn, one has to be able to THINK.
