Re: Five pieces of scamware to watch out for
I am an old member..seldom did post much, but still check in almost daily. I am always amused at the people who get uptight because of some OT or because it wasn't marked as such !Or even some of the other rants I have seen. Between being old and having worked with the public for 45 years I come to ...

At that visit he reads my card, does a general review of my overall health and writes a new rx for masks and cpaps.I do not neccessarily need new equipment, but the rx is there if I need it. I ask him why if I was feeling well and my numbers were good why this was necc...

Re: What do you call yours?

Re: Please help GF almost broke up with me due to CPAP
I remember the frustrations of my OSA therapy not making me feel like a new person for many weeks and the agonies of adjusting to the mask and all of the many other feelings of despair I experienced...I also remember my grandmother , in the middle of one of my complaint bouts, making the remark that...

Re: Tired of CPAP!!
bworthey, I am sorry for your frustration and discouragement, many of us have been there and still hit some pretty big bumps after months of therapy. And yes, I am tired of masking up. I agree with you and some of the comments by other posters..I want to just go to bed, I want to just go through a l...

Re: Boy does my hair look stupid.

Re: Pink Eye

I think most of us think of the infectious type of pinkeye when we hear the term. The general term pinkeye refers to redness and swelling of the conjunctiv...

Re: What do your family members think?
I imagine that you are more worried about your wifes reaction than she is. I believe that you are , without meaning to, shutting her out. My husband still holds me every night, spooning, mask and all, as we drift off to sleep. I ask my spouse straight out if the noise and hosehead look bothered him....

I got my check supply today so I am going to pay my old DME the balance of the nasty remark statement I got and start going to another DME . After I have my titration I have already made arr...
