Re: Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep

Maybe something similar would help you?

Re: TSA rules changed??

As a frequent traveler (approx. 4 flights a week), I can tell you that any medical device you take with, within reason will be allowed thought the TSA checkpoint and as a carry on and not counted as an additional bag. I know a lot of people say the medical CPAP tags aren't worth the price, but anyti...

Well so far I've cleaned it twice. I've read to clean it everyday in some places and every week in others. I travel frequently so I'm not able to clean it as much as I would like. But the mask doesn't feel oily from my face so I don't think it's slipping (but who knows at this point!). Currently I'm...

Ok, so I went back to review my mask and found out I am using a "medium/shallow" sized mask. And while I have attempted to re-adjust the mask every night to get a better fit, I can't seem to get it. If I adjust the mask to put more pressure on my chin, I get a leak at the top and vice versa. And jus...

Re: Walgreens?

[quote="kteague"]Wow, that's news to me. Has this been available all along or is it something new? _________________ Well the funny thing is that I interviewed with this company about a year and a half ago.

Walgreens Health/Home Services as DME?

Has anyone used Walgreens (Health/Home Services) as their DME? I was referred there today by my sleep lab and was quite impressed with the service. They scheduled me an appointment on the same day, got me a loaner until my permanent machine comes in, fitted me for a mask and allowed me to choose the...
