cpapauction.com

Please also don't forget about cpapauction.com I got my Swift II from there for under HALF of what it would cost on internet retailers and less than a THIRD of what home medical supply stores sell them for. Also, I believe there is a section for just headgear, too. Good luck - I feel your pain - my ...

AHI <5.0 = GREAT!

According to my idiot of a sleep doctor, 5.0 or less AHI is great. That is the number they shoot for. I call him an idiot because mine hovers around 13.3 all the time and he doesn't ever suggest anything to help me bring it lower. So, I would LOVE to have an AHI in the 3's
Just my 2 cents,
Chris

How long does 1 bottle last?

Okay - how about this question - if you are a 3 drops or more user, how long does 1 5ml bottle of the essential oil last? I'm intrigued and am thinking of purchasing, but, still wonder how often I will have to purchase more bottles of essential oil. Since my DME is terrible and my sleep doctor is of...

I believe this to be a good price at $49.99. I will let y...

Comfort Gel

This is the sizing mask for the Respironics ComfortGel series. I like this mask as a travel/backup. Make sure when you print it that there isn't any size changes. Measure the little square - it should be 1" by 1" square. Then, just cut out the template and the nose "holes" and see which size would b...
