This is funny, I just an email from my husband saying how miserably tired he is for not having his CPAP with him on a business trip. I'm wondering, how to you handle taking your CPAP with you (aside from choosing a good bag for it). Is it ever a security problem? Do you need certain paperwork? Thank...

I fixed that...

Hubby and I received our machines earlier this week, then I had to find distilled water for the humidifiers (we have the same machines). I got the hoses and masks all cleaned up, etc. I lasted until about 4.30, got over six hours sleep with the CPAP overall, then I really felt the need to sleep on m...

After adding up all our out-of-network medical expenses for the year, I decided to order our machines from cpap.com instead of going through the DME. There were a number of factors in the decision, but in the end it was a gut feeling that I wasn't going to be happy with the DME process and waits, et...

Paying for it ourselves is tempting, but we already over 15k/year for my son's therapies that aren't covered by insurance. Adding another $1100-$1200 to that would really hurt, when the machines should be fully covered....

Trying to get Apria on the phone now....

I just went through a miserable experience, driving all around south Jersey in the rain trying to find a DME to get machines for my husband and I. We both had our studies, and then went back to the doc this week and I got our scripts -- which is written just like the examples given here -- specifies...

My husband and I went to the same place and we each got to keep our masks. That's actually how I found this board, trying to figure out why the masks were different. His was just some disposable kind of full face mask, but my wasn't.

At first the task of learning new jargon and technology is overwhelming, but I'm used to it -- my son has a variety of medical conditions, so I'm actually kind of experienced in the process, just not for myself! After getting the reports and taking some time to look at machines, I feel like we're in...

I had my second study, just haven't gotten the results from that yet. Got the results from my first (PSG) study, and hubby's PSG and CPAP studies. I told my husband "HIPAA what?" -- I just called our doctors office, and asked that they fax the studies over to his office. Surprisingly to me, mine is ...

As I'm building my to-do list, this is a big one... It's not a dealbreaker, but my main computer is a Mac. We've have PCs but using the Macs are more convenient.

So, does anyone use or know if what, if any, software is Mac-compatible?

This is a great site... My eyes have been opened. I had my second study last night for my "fitting". My husband had his about three weeks ago. I thought it was interesting that he got a nasal mask, and I got a nasal pillow , and when I went Googling to find out why, I ended up here. Looks like I nee...
