Re: Which Tube to buy? ClimateLine?

Resmed recommends replacing any tubing (including ClimateLine) after 6 months of use. No matter how good you think you are at cleaning and disinfecting there can be bacteria buildup in the crevices, etc. And the ClimateLine can't be left submerged like other tubing. Some members here have bragged a...

Re: 'Nother crappy pharmacy

can't believe all these crappy pharmacies that won't give us name brand drugs for free just because our insurance only covers generic drugs. If you want the brand name and pay lots more for it then pay for it out of pocket and quit your crying. You sound like a crappy customer. I bet the pharamcy i...

Re: Did I almost kill myself?

I used to take Vicodin and Ambien at bedtime. My AHI's were high, in the mid 20's. I discovered that if I don't take the vicodin, my ahi's are 5 or less. As a test, I took vicodin and ambicn for 3 nights in a row. All 3 nights high AHI. I did this same test 3 times over the course of 2 months. I st...

Re: Wow what a Wonderful Forum!

I've gotten loads of useful information from the great users of this forum. You will too. Getting the right mask may take some time and trials. I have 5 of them over 3 months and ended up using the Swift LT nasal pillows.

My DME RT told me to put the mask on first, then the chin strap. This was for Swift LT nasal pillows.

Just curious: cmH2O vs PSI?

I was just curious if anyone knows how cmH2O relates to PSI? Like what would 19cm H2O be in PSI, etc.? Not that it matters but I was just wondering about that.

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

Hi all. What is the best method to send nasal pillows when you exchange them, so they don't get damaged? Do you use a large bubble envelope and mail it?? Or maybe a small box??

Thanks and good luck everyone

There's no excuse for refusing to listen to your patient or acknowledge he might know how he feels and the doc might need to do something proactive. Honestly I don't blame the doc. He reall...

My neighbor became so much of a pain in the ass squeaky wheel with his doctor that the doctor told him NOT to come back.
