Re: Removing odor from inside CPAP machine

I read on one of these forums to use vinegar. I cant remember the exact directions but I would assume you just run the thing with a bowl of vinegar near the intake. It kind of makes sense, it's what i use to freshen my washing machine and also to remove mildew smell. You might want to do a search. I...

Thanks, Jim. I hate calling them, but I figured thats what Id have to do.

You sure do have a point about the savings. Espacially with the masks!

Re: I'm Mad at All of You

Thats where my sleep Doc is. (no kidding, lol)I'm scared. I'm also at 115 lbs. that's even more scary. I suppose I could try and just lose the weight in my neck and throat. Maybe get one of those bobblehead neck incerts, after a few monts of trying to hold your head still the muscles in the neck wi...

Q about insurance

I have BC/BS insurance, they only pay 50% of my CPAP supplies. If I were to buy online (at a HUGE savings) how do I submit that to my insurance? I'm thinking of asking my Doc for a data capable machine. I have a used RemStar Pro but my new one (less than 2 mos) is a Remstar Plus. I dont see having p...

Differences in humidifiers

Could you tell me the difference between passover humidifiers,heated ones and whatever else there is? I just got a RemStar M Pro with no humidifier (used) and the humidifier from my RemStar Plus wont fit it. I thought it would but I think the Pro is an older version. The Plus has an actual socket to...

Re: Storing cpap mask during day

I can't imagine putting on my mask without having washed the nasal pillows! The thought makes me a little queasy. I assume they do grow bacteria at some point. I have the Hybrid, I take out the pillows and mouth cushion and wash them in Dawn, then I rinse the whole thing, shake the water out and han...

Re: Sleep Study Facilities - What's Typical?

By the way, in reference to visiting ahead of time, I think some of these places have websites where you can see what kind of setup they have, it wouldnt hurt to ask. Our hospital website has a link to the Sleep Center at Hampton Inn where they show the rooms etc.

Re: Sleep Study Facilities - What's Typical?

Both mine were in a 4 star hotel (Hampton Inn)in the town where our hospital is. I was free to come early and use the pool or just come in and get settled and watch a little TV and have the continental breakfast in the morning. The bed was queen with a lot of pillows, I had a big TV and DVD player, ...
