Huge bags under my eyes...

Actually, it's more than just bags, my eyes, eye sockets, eyelids, everything; I wake up feeling rested now, but my face looks lke I got hit by a truck. The corners of my eyes are all wrinkled and swollen, I have these deep lines that go from the corners of my eyes all the way to my cheeks. It's ugl...

So with the Remstar Auto I have, and the 12 volt adapter cable w/ battery clips, can I just use a deep cycle marine battery?

So are you running your machine into the 110 ac output on the Xantrex? My Remstar auto's rated power consumption: @ 110vac x 1.0a, thats 110 watts; according to the Xantrex Powerpack 400 users guide, a small 13" tv at 60wac will run the battery completely down in 2.5 hrs. So hmmmm... So are you runn...

Ok, I checked that out and it looks like the kind of setup I want, but I'm going to need one that's more powerful. My setting is 16, and I expect to be out for three to five days at a time. Someone help me out here, where can I get big powerpack?

Camping with my cpap

Anyone have any experience camping with their cpap. I mean tent camping, with nowhere to plug in their machine. I understand I'll need adapters to run my Remstar from a 12v deep cycle marine battery,. Any help or helpful advice would be appreciated. I'm not willing to give up taking my boys fishing ...

100 times 8 hours a night = 800 times 30 days = 24000 = 24 KWH per month.

Okay, I guess I should have been more specific, my usage is averaging 50.5 kwh per day.
My monthly kwh is 1517. And my bill was $90.57. I live in Idaho, where I think electricity isn't that high considering all the hydroelectric around here.

CPAP and my power bill

I've asked this before, but I'm asking again because my power bill was unbelievable this month. I've gone from an average of 24 kwh on my monthly power bill to over 50. I started cpap in March; my power consumption went from 27.1 in April to 43.2 kwh in March, and this month it's 50.5. I have made a...

Power consumption issue....

I just got my power bill today. It was $20 more than last month, the only difference in my power usage is my Remstar plus c-flex. I've been using it for about 5 weeks now. Anyone else out there have this much of an increase when starting cpap use?

I contacted the UHC rep at BSU, and they told me that sleep studies were definitely NOT covered. I asked what I should do and they basically snubbed me, and then wouldn't return my calls.

First of all, let me explain a couple things. My doctor has been a family friend for over 25 years, he's actively involved and extremely helpful in many aspects of every member of my family's lives. Which is why he went so far out of his way to help with my problem at no charge. He is a very respect...

Suggestion #1 ........ I have the set pressure Remstar- they only allowed me the use of the auto unit to determine what pressure I need, as I don't have insurance that covers this, and didn't do a sleep study. Docs script, like I said before, is for a range between 10-19, and the set pressure is set...
