No, but it will affect your treatment. Cheers.

Re: I Hate This

I would go get some antibiotics from your doc if you have been suffering for almost 2 months with sinus inflammation. I also would try switching to a nasal mask instead of a nasal pillow mask to see if it makes any difference, and I would change the filter even if it didn't look dirty.

Re: Was my OSA misdiagnosed?

how many hours per night are you using your APAP? how many hours per night do you sleep?

i am not in your shoes, with mild apnea, but i still don't think i would be bringing that machine over to the relatives house just yet.

Re: OT, Advice on Part D provider

In the midwest it is not called SHIP. In MN it is called Senior Linkage and in WI, for example, it is called Aging and Disability Resource Center. You have to google it as I mentioned, or you can tell me the name of the state you live in and I can research it for you.

Re: OT, Advice on Part D provider

Most states or counties now have a "senior and disability" resource center where you can get the scoop and compare all of these plans to find the best one for you. Google under senior resources or similar with the state or county name where you reside and there should be a link to the resource cente...

It would be hard for a non sufferer to understand this.......or possibly even a mild sufferer. I do understand. I do als...
