That started when I was riding the aluminum torture machines, 1100 and 1420. Don't I know it. My first serious road machine was a Cannondale Criterium bike. That was back in the late 80s when the down tube was as big as a beer can. That and short chainstays and centuries were pure torture! I can re...

Well carbonman, thus far I have gotten everything I asked for from the DME. I'm not quite as skeptical as you may be, but then again, I have the advantage of meeting with them in person and I can usually tell when someone is trying to put one over on me. I will let you know if or when I actually get...

I changed masks on Friday. I went from a FlexiFit HC407 nose mask to the FF mask in my profile. The FlexiFit was the best out of all the masks I tried. Behold! The darned thing worked nicely both Friday and Saturday nights. My Dr. sent over a revised prescription but my med supplier said my insuranc...

Hey Gang, I wouldn't say I got "screwed" but indeed I was a little misled. I decided it would be better to take the machine they offered and start my therapy right away. I am in the process now of getting the better machine and mask. I wasn't expecting to get everything right the first time. An adju...

I received my equipment last Friday. I did ask my Dr. to prescribe the C-Flex and Software and he told me I could get what ever I wanted from the med. supply co. He was wrong. So I will be asking my Dr. to send a new prescription. My first night was a little rough and I took the mask off after 4 hou...

Thanks Snoredog, that helps a whole lot!!!

Gasp, I think I will be getting equipment on my Dr. visit Sep. 5th. I am still researching equipment and reading about what you veterans are using. I know I will either need a chin strap or a full face mask. Otherwise, I want as many useful bells and whistles as possible. I also travel alot so I may...

Echo, Thanks for the warm welcome. Trust me, now that I know about my "problem", I now realize what a wreck I am and have been. Prior, I just thought I was getting old, tired, fat and forgetful. Maybe that's not the case! I have been reading the "yellow light bulb" voraciously but still have a long ...

Following a sleep study which my Dr. jokingly told me I failed, I am looking forward to speaking with the sleep center DR. and getting set up with a machine. My appointment is Sept. 5 and I can't wait. They stopped my sleep study after two hours and put me on a CPAP and eventually added oxygen. I go...
