UC Berkeley and UCSF are asking for donations. Apparently, they think they are convertible.

Re: Software for a Mac?

So, I've found OSCAR for the Mac. However, MacOS won't let me use anything not downloaded from the App Store. Anyone find a way to get around that?
Also, is there a link for Sleepyhead?

Thanks, Jean
I'm running 10.12.6 Mojave.

Software for a Mac?

Hi,
I have an iMac now, no PC. Should I be using Sleepyhead or Oscar? I also have a new bi-level machine, and my AHI, which had dropped below 1, are now closer to 2. I’m interested in why the change.
Thanks!

Re: 5 months pregnant and now feel like I'm suffocating with my mask

The only time I feel suffocated is if the ramp feature accidentally gets turned ON. Do you use the ramp? If yes, maybe turn it OFF and see if that helps. It starts too low for me.

Just a thought, Jean

Re: Sudden leaks

The biggest "ah-ha" for me in solving leaks was a really clean face before bed. Without that, I can tape my mouth shut and I'll still leak.

Just a thought, YMMV, Jean

I'd love to get it somewhere else, but Blue Shield won't approve it. :(.

Re: Newly diagnosed, waiting for next study

Hello! Before I got my machine (and I'm only 6 years in), I was getting ready to quit my job because I was too tired to work. It took me about a month to really get used to it, and I think I probably posted here every day. The support was amazing! You've likely developed a "sleep debt" that will tak...

most recent version of the AirCurve10 VAuto

Hello! I am finally moving from an S9 to an AirCurve VAuto (yay! the S9 is heavy for travel). I'm picking it up this week, and am waiting for a Clinical manual from the apneaboard folks. I have to get it from Crapria (oops - did I say that out loud?). I never let them ship, since once you take anyth...

Shopping for a new machine

I’ve been using a ResMed S9 for over 5 years, so it’s time for a new one. Today I use an auto bi-level (VPAP). Anyone have a machine they like better than the ResMed AirSense/Curve VAuto?

Do insurance companies cover CPAP supplies bought off Amazon?
In the last few years, I've had both United Healthcare and Cigna. Neither cover anything from Amazon.

Re: Physicans do not accept new Medicare patients

told Novant's employee who answered the phone that I have Medicare Advantage plus BCBS supplement plan F. She said that they can't give me an appointment as a new patient. Practices can close their patient panel if they are too full in some states (e.g.: CA). But, they cannot close it ONLY to senio...

Any experience with DME SleepMed?

I'm in the market for a new DME (had enough of Crapria) in No California. My options are limited as they have to be contracted by CareCentrix.
Does anyone have any experience with SleepMed (http://sleepmedinc.com), which in the Bay Area is based in San Jose, CA?

Thanks for any sharing, Jean
