Radical doesn't necessarily mean wrong, I'll give it a try.

Re: Well I went for follow up on sleep study

C-flex is a good feature, but respironics makes 3 machines with that feature: remstar M-series Plus with C-Flex, Remstar M-Series Pro with C-Flex, and Remstar M-Series Auto with C-Flex (or with A-flex, but at this point it's not a huge distinction). What you want is either of the latter two machines...

Removing mask while asleep

So far so good with the new machine.. I've not switched it into auto mode yet, I'll probably leave it in cpap mode until after the download for my followup with the sleep doc at the beginning of March, but now I have another challenge: I take my mask off at night.

"Show me." And their story changed to "That's all your dr wanted you to have." So I fired them, and called...

Re: Another DME headache

My current plan is to change DME companies, I'm waiting for a list of in-network companies so I can call around and find the one that will give me the machine I need. Omnimarconi67: Some sleep clinics also provide machines. Mine does, but they aren't in-network for my insurance so I would have had t...

Another DME headache

Hello all, my name is Jeremy, and I've recently become a hosehead. A frustrated hosehead. I'm sure you've all heard this story many times, please allow me to vent. After my titration study, I woke up feeling great. I went home, took a shower, went to work, worked all day.. didn't even need my wakeup...
