Thanks for all the great information. Yeah, the X30i is expensive, one I couldn't afford if I was paying out of pocket. But I just started with a new sleep doc (hadn't been to one for eight years), so I will be able to get a prescription that I can use at a local DME provider and turn stuff into ins...

Have you used a hose cozy on the leader hose? I always had rainout problems with leader hose masks. You can use a regular one, but start it at the mask, some of the heated hose near the machine will be left uncovered, that won't matter. I used to get short hose cozies that covered just the leader h...

[*]I am a side sleeper and have had difficulty learning to sleep on my back. I am definitely not the person here to help with most of your questions/problems, but I do have a question for you: Why are you are trying to sleep on you back if you're a side sleeper? I am also a side sleeper and have ne...

... I have been on CPAP therapy since 2007. Yikes! I've been 9 characters since then! I had a similar problem with the water dispenser in my side-by-side refrigerator-- everything froze because one micro-atmosphere invaded the other. Anyway, take the cushion mask.jpg and cover it with thick flannel...

. Hi all, I have been on CPAP therapy since 2007. Last year, I started getting water droplets in my mask along with dampness where I have to wipe the mask out a few times a night. The heated hose is always completely dry. When it started, I had not changed anything...masks, room temp, CPAP settings,...

Any suggestions on how to determine the correct headgear size for the Resmed Airfit F40? They come in different sizes because they do not have any adjustment on the top of the head. If this helps at all, I always have to adjust the headgear tighter for any other mask I've had. I determined the mask ...

Out of three tapes, I found Cover Roll to be the best sticking and lowest priced. It did better than Pap Md, and another medical tape, but unfortunately for me nothing will keep my mouth shut during sleep. Taping with Cover Roll brand may work to keep your mouth from opening but it may not. I have ...

I switched from the Innomed Hybrid to ResMed's F30, and am very happy with it - much quieter than the Innomed, and easier to sleep with since it doesn't blow air in strong streams the made me have to place my head "just so" to avoid the blowing on my arm, blankets etc. Haven't tried any of the othe...

I thought since Oscar rarely showed any large leaks that that wouldn't be the problem, but I guess it could be leaking a little bit for a long time? Yeah, I am really bummed about the discontinuation of the Hybrid. It's only mask I've ever been able to tolerate, but have to admit I haven't tried ver...

. What have folks here found to be the best mouth tape, one that doesn't come off but yet doesn't damage your skin? I wear a Hybrid, which has nasal pillows and an oral cushion. I wake up several times a night with my lips parted, my tongue basically glued to the roof of my mouth, cheeks stuck to gu...

#2 What can I do to dispose of the 3 I have? As to your question about what to do with the three machines you have... We had four recalled machines. For each one when they sent a new machine, they also sent a box with label to return the recalled machine. I did that for three of them but never got ...

People don't want to admit that the sleep maintenance insomnia monster has set up residence in their body. Instead they want to blame UARS or "cpap not working" or whatever because they want a quick fix instead of doing to work to try to fix the problem.......and people....trust me....I personally ...

Would you share where your purchased the the eye goggles? I am thinking about getting something from the Dry Eye Shop. I used their Tranquileyes years ago for another problem, but that particular product doesn't work for me with keeping air completely out of my eyes at night. Thanks!

First and foremost I am willing to pay for the right to go to the doctors I choose Nearly all the doctors, hospitals, and dentists in my area accept my MA plan. No referral is required. Gym benefit, vision, dental and $125/quarter for OTC. Even toothpaste is covered! Same foir me as Granny. I have ...

Ever notice those who claim to be "way ahead" or "be happy" never volunteer what MA plan they are using? And IMHO IF you travel an HMO type plan is not the one to have. Of course I don't like an HMO even when not traveling. Didn't know that mentioning the plan was needed but here ya go since it see...
