Oh, I bought all the supplies I could way back when it was discontinued. I was just wondering if anyone had any other solutions. Thanks.

Hello, Does anyone know where I can get new tubing for the Puritan Bennett Breeze Mask? Anyone out there still using this mask? Thanks, Judy

Gerald - where do you put the string in your mask? This sounds like a great solution.

After my rental period, I returned the new, rental CPAP to my DME. My organization only has one 'approved' DME. I told the RT I was returning it because: 1) the machine they gave me was not fully data capable, and 2) I could get the new, data capable machine I wanted from the web for a lot less $$ t...

Hello Snoredog I don't recall reading about using a UPS before. Interesting and sounds simple. Are there any other specifications for a non-techie to look for? What is "modified sine wave", an output specification? I know I've read about marine batteries on this forum, but not UPS. Thanks for the in...

Slinky - I'm not sure if this would be an option for you or not. My mom lives an hour away from me and would never get a cell phone for herself. However, I worry that if she and dad are tooling about town and needed help - they have a phone handy. I added another number on my plan and she shares my ...

I'm with Joel. Use Hipaa and medical privacy concerns.

I talke provigil every work day. I was prescribed 200 mg a day, but only take half a day. I don't take it on weekends or vacation days. Prior to taking it, I would be VERY tired during the work day, miss work, etc. My work habits were very poor. I have had a great experience with Provigil. I do agre...

I agree with everyone's comments. Wulfman is 'right on' about doing the math. My experience with in-network DME: --insurance says they pay 50% of cpap after deductible --DME tells me my portion of cpap will cost me $758 --I look at cpap.com and the cpap I want costs $515ish --I write insurance compa...

The company that administers my organization's Flex Spending Account gives us a 'benefits card' that works like a debit card and it has the MasterCard logo on it. I use it just like a 'credit/debit card', but know that I only contributed $x for the year and can only charge up to that amount for the ...

Wow. All of these comments sound really familiar with what I have experianced. When I was in high school and college, I couldn't wait to "be a grown up" and be out on my own. Working in corporate America and layed off a couple of times will certainly change your mind! I'm 46 and mentally tired of th...

OK. I didn't purchase my CPAP or supplies from the only DME who my insurance will pay for, due to VERY excessive pricing. I'm also disputing a 'rental' bill with this company. I want to get fitted for a full face mask, due to mouth breathing/mask leak, per my cpap software. Does anyone have suggesti...

I have been taking Provigil for two weeks. I was having a terrible time waking up and GETTING to work. I went to the doctor and basically begged for the medication, based on messages I had read on this forum. I was missing work and wasn't a good employee and needed to show up and perform. Based on r...

Hello. I had septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and what my doc calls a "window" installed about 6 years ago. I had surgery on Wednesday a.m., went back on Friday afternoon to have the packing removed. My parents came to babysit me from Wednesday - Friday. I was lucky enough to have 2 weeks off paid....

Slinky - if you had not written out a suggested script for a new CPAP machine to give to my sleep doc, I would still have a the Plus machine and NO data! You keep helping us newbies! Thank goodness I found this forum! CPAP education and entertainment---all at one web site!
