Lost 8 Lbs

Sorry I am a little late. I weighed Friday & I went from 220 to 212 in two weeks. 8 pounds..... Here is what I did. I cut out sweets & snacks, except one day I did indulge in some sweets. I cut my portions by quite a bit to a more reasonable amount & no seconds. Many days I had soup & a plain piece ...

I sure know where my pounds came from. I love to eat. I eat the healthy stuff but too much of it & I like to snack. I would like to have a food meter on my mouth so that after the allotted amount, a lock would automatically activate to prevent any more food from entering. Don't know if I can check i...

Make sure you use the proper sized nasel things to fit your nose. You should have received three sizes in the case. Also the holes in the pillow should face away from you because air needs to exit continuously from those holes. You can also change the side of the mask that the hose attaches. I sleep...

The DME threw the SETUP DIRECTIONS away

I picked up my Remstar Pro 2 C-Flex today. The DMe took a manual out of the plastic & threw it in the trash can. I asked him what that was. He said it was the setup directions & they were not allowed to give it to me.
What a BUMMER. Is this right?????? Can he do this?????

When I asked the doc to prescribe Auto C-Flex it was either his way or the highway. He did not even attempt to work with me a little. From what I understand the Auto feature can be turned off & the machine can be operated as a straight C-Flex. Therefore if I found the machine not doing what it is su...

DOC WOULD NOT PRESCRIBE AUTO C-FLEX

Just got back from the doc. I asked him to change the prescription from c-flex to auto c-flex. He would not do it. He said the auto feature is unreliable & has not been perfected yet. Is this true? Is auto no good or is the doc not telling me the full reason he won't let me order an auto? After read...

Need new prescription from sleep doc

My sleep doc prescribed the c-flex. I would like to get the auto c-flex so I have an appointment with the doc to ask for a new prescription. What are my chances of getting the prescription changed? If he won't change it what are my options?

Rent or Own???????

I called DME today to see about getting a machine & they told me because of the cost of the machine they mostly rent them with an option to buy & insurance will pay for it. Has anyone gone this route? This is the first time I heard of renting the machine. Is this normal or kind of unusual?

Order APAP machine online versus thru DME

I am ready to get an APAP machine. My sleep Doc sent my prescription to a local DME, who specializes in "Sleep Disorders Treatment". I am wondering why I should go with them instead of having the doc give me the prescription so I can order the machine myself online. The online price is half of the p...

Experienced Dizziness

I recently did a sleep test & then went back for another test with the CPAP machine. When I got up in the morning I was somewhat dizzy & my ears hurt. Is this what I have to look forward to??? I haven't purchased a machine yet. I want to do a lot of research, including doing a lot of reading on this...
