Re: OT - Express Scripts (Medco Health) SUCKS!

Our company dropped Express Scripts a couple of years ago, and started with CVS/Caremark. We are able to get it mailed, or pick up a local CVS. Do have to use them for maintenance drugs, though. Was not happy with Express Scripts for the same reasons mentioned.

Re: Learning the Ropes

It is indeed a hard thing to get used to, my friend. Even as we speak,(type), I am wearing a opti-life pillows mask, trying to get used to it. I have used a Quattro FX most of the six months in therapy, and do pretty well with it. Have tried other styles in past, waking with extremely dry mouth. Wou...

Re: Zzz-Pap Software

I looked, as well, hoping to help. You are right, that model is no longer available, even for parts. However, there is a newer version of that, sold by one of the online suppliers for $200. It does come compete with software. Sorry for your troubles.

Re: OT How precious and fragile it all is.

We are but a snowflake in the passing parade of life. It's funny how winter has this effect on a lot of folks. I look at my grandkids growing up, and me just growing old. I am getting better at this age thing. I no longer view my life like a shopping cart on a spree, trying to fill it up as fast as ...

Re: does anyone have regular checkups with sleep dr

No, he is fired, and won't know it for ten months. My primary care doc can give me a script for anything I need, and this forum takes care of the rest.

Re: Night #1 was so-so, A couple of issues

I have had more than a couple of nights like that. Hang in there. Uh, freezing face. First thing that comes to mind is mask leaks. Air is colder than body temp, and when it flows out the mask, it feels cold. If the mask is changing positions a lot and reseats, the area where the mask came into conta...

Re: The only thing I hate about my P10

I think the use of the word "Potty" has to do with raising kids, or having that word used when you were a kid, yourself. I work in a retail environment, and can generally guess when the customer is a preschool, or elementary teacher, just by how they speak to me. Of course, there is always the ever ...

I know this is an also run, but your pressure is going up, and staying on the ceiling, for whatever period of time you had it on.

Re: Bed

Might be a bit steep, even with the butt stop. I found much over a 6" rise made it really hard to get comfortable trying to sleep on side, and still didn't drop my OA that much. Laid it back down, trying my best to sleep on my side; OA went away, and overall AHI dropped to below 5. Everyone has diff...

Re: Mirage Liberty Mask Cost $6000 in Ortho Treatment!

For a short time I tried the Mirage Liberty, and other than feeling like I was at the business end of a bicycle pump, I did feel uncomfortable with the amount of pressure on my upper teeth. It hurt in the morning for the short time I used it. I thought maybe it was just me making it too tight, tryin...

Re: lincare complaints

My wife's insurance company required a maintenance contract, as part of the purchase. When she was laid off, she continued to get bills from Lincare. She repeatedly told them that contract was through United Healthcare, she no longer had that insurance company, and was not required to keep it. Final...

Re: Resmed Quattro fx users

What issues did swapping the headgear correct? Leaks, excess tightening? Stability of the mask? I would be curious, as I also have Quattro FX. No serious problems, but always looking for improvements. Thanks.
