Lineman,

Explain to your insurance company that your mask works well and see if they will cover the cost up to the amount they would pay for another mask. They might do that and it's a reasonable request.

Your responses were helpful, thank you!!

I have used the option to PM folks. I noticed that my last four PMs are in my outbox and not in my sent box, which would explain why I'm not getting a response. I wrote to the cpap.com admin, but don't have an answer to my question yet. I was wondering if anyone could "enlighten" me. I am clicking o...

Brookstone has a pillow for mild sleep apnea. I think it's rather new. I would appreciate the reviews from anyone that might have used it.

I have a medical condition that might be contributing to my fatigue. It is my belief that there are those that recover quickly...

I’ve been on CPAP about the same amount of time as you, and I’m still tired. I have a ComfortLite2 and use the nasal mask. At first I had some problems with the mask leaking, but now that I’m getting use to adjusting it, etc…I think it’s fine. My GP tells me that some things in your body can change ...

I have been on CPAP for about six weeks now. My jaw also hurts and before starting CPAP treatment I had some real bad days. It has improved, but still mildly sore. My ankle and feet are sore after sitting or getting out of bed in the morning. At first it's difficult to walk, but it goes away. Before...
