PROBLEM LOGGING IN

I can't believe I'm logged in after trying for weeks. Every time I try to log in it says incorrect user name or incorrect password, even though I'm using the correct name and password. What's wrong? I may not be able to log in again for awhile so thanks to everyone who responds with suggestions.

Re: reading smart card

I don't know how to copy the url.
On cpap.com I was looking at which machines are fully data capable and came across F.A.Q

Its under frequently asked questions

What is a smart card reader?

Let me know if you find it.

I noticed your reader is from Hong Kong. Do you have any problems with it?

reading smart card

I read on cpap.com that you can read your smart card without a card reader if you move your cpap machine near your computer and connect them. Am I interpreting this correctly? It was under some questions and answers. Also, are the card readers sold from Hong Kong companies as good as the ones sold f...

Activa mask pros and cons

I'm due for a new mask soon and I'm considering an Activa. How do you like or dislike it? I've tried many types of masks and have not found my perfect mask yet. I have requested the Activa twice from the DME only to be told they are too big and would be uncomfortable. I've read on this board that al...

Re: CPAP location changed everything

If I sleep out and put the machine on the floor I get alot of rainout. When I have it on a stand at home it doesn't happen? What causes this rainout? Is it the location of the machine?

Re: Almost 2 years and no better sleep

What settings should I ask to have on my apap?
Are my apneas made worse when the pressure goes up? If so, why does the pressure go up that high?

Re: Almost 2 years and no better sleep

I had another sleep study, but they wanted to raise my pressure to 18. that's when I asked for an APAP,
I guess I'll see what my sleep doc says next month. Maybe I need another sleep study, but I thought on APAP it wasn't needed.

Re: Almost 2 years and no better sleep

Would I be better off to go back to my old cpap set at 13? I think I had a lower AHI on that, but I'm not sure if it was because of the masks. Lately I've been switching masks because I can't get one that's comfortable or if its comfortable it leaks air. I usually wake about 6:00, take off the mask ...

Almost 2 years and no better sleep

I've been on cpap and apap. Should I try bipap next? I don't get good sleep. Still tired all day. Don't know if its the machine or the masks. I've tried quite a few masks including nasal pillows, nasal masks, full face, and simple cushions. I'd try a dental device but my sleep doc says they don't do...

The dme is Praxair. I never heard of them before. Are they only in Massachusetts?
