Re: Found an Exciting New Use for My Cpap Machine!

You really should change to the Swift FX mask.............I think it'd be better at drying nails than what you have. I don't know how what kind of cpap tx you'll get with it since masks choices are so individual, but hey......have some priorities!

Re: Most of you are a bunch of nice people!

I'm really not a jerk....but sometimes I act like one! But truly, I wouldn't be where I am without the people of this forum. All of my brothers have osa...they suffer along or just tolerate their machines, and I happily go on my way, loving my machine because so many of you have taught me so much! P...

Re: Can you believe this shit?

Could it be that the sleep lab tech might think you are a little bit of an arrogant jerk, and didn't want to have to give you the brief summary in the morning? (because he is not allowed to) Only if they'd known each other for more than a minute... LinkC---a minute is a very long time. 60 whole sec...

Re: Variance in AHI readings

Avi123 has foe'd me for not usually agreeing with him, so I know he won't see this message.......you don't need another doc by any means. Sleeptiger.....the goal is to consistently get your ahi below 5. That being said, what is normal for one person, isn't always normal for the next one. Sometimes f...

Re: Tylenol PM?

Tylenol PM won't hurt now and then or on a short term basis........... You can eliminate the tylenol portion of the med by just picking up some diphenhydramine--the active ingredient that makes you sleepy. It's brand name is benedryl. Generically is it the primary ingredient in most generic sleep ag...

Re: Auto versus Cpap

Here's my story: Regular check with Doc, and she wasn't happy. I've been on Auto BiPap now for about 4 years. Stats were 90% IPAP= 17, 90%EPAP= 14 with an AHI of 5.5 (data covers 3 weeks) She advised me to use saline spray and come back in a year (or earlier if a problem). So I did the nasal spray ...

Re: Firing a sleep medicine doc...how do YOU do it?

For the record, for most of those timeouts I was perfectly innocent but got framed by Carbonman, who deserved every one of those timeouts every single time. Carbonman? An angel? OH PLEASE!!! Never turn your back on a bike-riding musician/poet/photographer/volunteer/activist who carries a 2X4, becau...

Re: OT: Feeling Grumpy Today

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building...

Re: How to piss off your DME REALLY BAD

EricinNC: I believe in vengeance. If I can give them a hard day, I will do it.
That attitude affects your life and outlook negatively also............get a life. This does not make you a tough guy.......just a jerk.

Re: How to piss off your DME REALLY BAD

It's always best to be your own health care advocate, or have someone who can do that for you when you cannot...........ADVOCATE does not mean you have to piss people off "really bad".

But the point you are missing EricinNC is that IT IS NOT A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM among the hundreds of S9 users on this forum...........it must be the machine that you were unlucky enough to purchase.

Re: How to piss off your DME REALLY BAD

This is universal insurance stuff...........dme's aren't going to give you a canned response if they can make more money. Denial's come from insurance companies all of the time. Anyone with insurance or who works with insurance regularly sees them. If the gal at the dme was so upset that she almost ...
