There is something wrong if you are replacing your pillows every two weeks and you are still not happy. I can make mine last for at least 3 months.Perhaps review the size you are using.

Hello, Anyone have any thoughts about what the average life span of a heated hose for the resmed S9 would be? Do you know if insurance will cover it if you get a written prescription. $50 for a hose could add up fast if they don't last long? Also what about cleaning it. Do you have to be extra care...

As regards the rainout can i suggest two more things. 1. Only put enough water in the tank for one night. 2.

I have learned to relax and the machine will make sure you get enough air even through one nostril. You can clear the nose with a spray but you are not supposed ...

Yes I had the same problem with high pressures before I went to sleep. First thing,get off your back. Take a few deep breaths and relax. I must be more used to the machine(or vice versa) as it doesnt seem to be an issue anymore.I have had mine since June 2011 My exhale is 1-4. My inhale is 5 - 15. S...

I also have been advised the operation is very routine these days...get it done go on.

Interesting. I have been advised that i have cataracts in both eyes. I am told I dont need to do anything yet but probably in about 3 years they will need to be operated on.

Three years...who knows what will happen by then.
