I'm at my destination right now. I don't plan on going home until Thursday. I'm just irritated by the fact that the whole thing was treated as a joke by American Airlines. I only have my CPAP machine in the bag. The bag says Respironics on the flap and I have documentation that I was more than willi...

I'm wondering what airlines people are flying that they aren't encountering any problems. I had a hell of a time with American Airlines on both legs of my trip. On one leg, the attendant at the counter tried to get me to check my machine. There was no way in hell I'd allow that and I told the attend...

I'm going to be traveling next Wednesday out to bury my mom. I got a note from the sleep doctor that I had medical equipment and that it must travel with me. I'm going on American Airlines, so I'm hoping they'll be fine. Do they ask when you check in at the gate if you need to preboard so you can st...

Alrighty folks. I'm still on my quest to try and avoid having some dental surgery down the road. After getting my root canal yesterday, I stopped by my DME's office because I'm still experiencing the swollen gums. Granted it isn't as bad as it was before, but it's still happening. The RT gave me an ...

Is that what they told you, that they can't order a data capable machine, or they won't? Or is it because of how your doctor wrote the prescription? You might want to ask your doctor to rewrite the prescription to mention data capable if it wasn't mentioned before. I have a data capable machine, alb...

Harry, it's been fixed for some time now, at least 6 months. I got one of the new ones when mine broke on the side (old version) no amount of superglue would work. I posted some pics of the new mask at the end of this thread: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=46602&p=420046#p420046 ETA: It...

It might help if you update your profile to see what you have so we can offer advice and help. Trust me, I was glad I came here last year and while I don't post a lot here, I do lurk/browse and learn a lot of new things. I started with the ComfortGel Nasal mask and just recently switched over to the...

According to my DME, everything but the tank and mask frame are monthly supplies. The tank is every six months and the frame is every 3 months. Thisis on an auto shipment (finally got on that). I'd definitely try to talk to someone higher up if you can and if you can get them to, have them put you o...

Well, it's been about 5 days and Ithink this is working. I had some issues the first couple of nights getting the nasal pillows to sit right. The Ayr has helped a lot and I don't seem to be having any issues with it leaking. I did have my husband help me with the straps to try and get it snug, but n...

Hehe, actually I do remember them, Padacheek. Many many nights watching Nick at Night with my parents, I got to see quite a few classic commercials I'll look for the gels you mentioned. Unfortunately I'm out of KY at the moment , so maybe this will be an excuse for me to get some more. Look for a PM...

I paid a visit to my DME yesterday and tried a new mask - Swift LT for Her. The reason for the change was due to my dentists' concerns regarding my current mask pressing against my upper gums causing them to be swollen.If the problem isn't fixed, then there might be things he may have to do. Rather ...

What kind of bed did you get? My first had me on a hospital bed - certainly not comfortable for a sleep study. My second was a Sleep Number. It was okay, but I think with it being used so much it didn't inflate as well as it could have. I had a private bathroom both times, no tv, but I had my PDA wi...
