I don't know exactly how it works or why it's a bipap vs a cpap. But I'm watching the dvd right now. Will let u know.

Well they calibrated it to 13

I picked up BiPap from Apria (different mask than expected)

I went there today and the mask they gave me was a Nasal Mask. They said that it was DEFAULT, and no specific mask was specified, so they said it would do. As far as I know, I used a full faced mask in the study. However, through my experience, I have not tolerated the masks well. So I don't know if...

My Apology to Bleeping Beauty and the forum

What I said and the words I used to Bleeping Beauty were unacceptable and has no place here. I didn't mean anything by it and don't have any personal animosity towards you or women. It was purely out of frustration and ego. I was being a child. But that is no excuse for my behavior. I should have kn...

Re: How do I get the help I need?

Again with the phone! Can you really be this clueless?! Go and get the prescription in your HAND. Drive to the DME and HAND them the prescription. Walk out with a machine and mask. Or, wait another six months and play phone tag with people. Your choice. Everyone else is able to get these simple thi...

Re: How do I get the help I need?

I called Apria again and they said no fax was sent. No prescription was sent. I called the doctors and she told me that I have got to be kidding. She said she sent it 3 or 4 times. I called Apria back again and they said they still don't have it. Something is wrong. The doctors assistant said that i...

Re: Done with APRIA!!!

I've been going back and forth with apria since the beginning of February. Every time I talk to someone I get a different answer. The guy from the escalation team today was not as sympathetic as I would of liked and kept giving excuses. I have BCBS so I have a few choices in DME's, but hate the ide...

Re: How do I get the help I need?

It's my understanding that the people here aren't doctors and just try to help one another by offering their experiences. I haven't read here or another board that surgery is a cure. Maybe for some people but it doesn't seem like many. Same with a dental device for that matter. Anyway, you have to ...

Re: How do I get the help I need?

I've been trying to read all I can and this afternoon came upon this thread. Well, I was curious and found other threads by this person. It's like a soap opera. I don't understand. It would be terribly sad if this person was indeed having many problems and was met with some of the posts I have read...
