Re: Is CPAP a risk for upper resp "infections"

My experience has been that I have less issues now than pre-CPAP. Have been on CPAP for almost eight years and have a significanlty lower incidence of sinus infections than before, which I attribute to the humidifier used with the CPAP. I keep the setting quite high during the winter (setting of fou...

Re: Hey! Roster Rooster: Corporate Welfare!

Absolutely true that corporations do not pay taxes - people do. Take look at GE - Were it not for being bailed out they likely would no longer exist. GE has continually been touted as one of the most well run companies under Jack Welch's watch, then transferred to Jeff Immelt. All Immelt did was con...

Re: cpap in the hospital

Never bothered to determine how much the hospital charged to have a RT to accomplish the difficult task, although it would have been what the insurance company allowed. Whatever the cost was it's a safe bet that it was extreme. In any case my CPAP was hooked up and I was able to get good quality sle...

Re: cpap in the hospital

I have been hospitalized on three occasions since CPAP treatment. Never an issue with bringing my CPAP, although I didn't ask for permission. On two occasions I set it up on my own, but on one I was not able to do so. The hospital staff sent a Respiratory Therapist to set it up, which was essentiall...

Re: When is my account going to be deleted?

Have not read many of your posts but from what I do see I'm sure there are many people that would be happy to assist your with deleting. The other option would, of course, be to avoid visiting places you don't like. I look forward to seeing the machine you speak of that has minimal variance in press...

Re: Increase in DME Prices under Obama Care !

Interesting reading some of these posts. I warned what would happen with the fiasco of "health care reform" but according everyone on this board I didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Now you are just starting to see the results of the monster that was shoved through. By the way, it was tout...

Re: OSA, Driving and Government Run Amuk

Have not visited this chat room for a while, as I have yet to find something useful. My OSA is treated very successfully. I do, however, appreciate your concern for my well being, even if you are ill informed. Occasionally I get bored so take a quick glance at this chat room - Based on some of the p...

Re: OSA, Driving and Government Run Amuk

Since you deal with a Dr. that apparently likes to practice law why do you need to contact an attorney? Or perhaps you could contact an attorney that likes to pracitce medicine on the side.

Re: Anyone try/use a dental device?

I have used a "dental device" for years and would not go without it. It was expensive and remains that way when I have it replaced. Fortunately my insurance pays for most of the cost. However, it is not used to treat my sleep apnea - It is used for protection, as I grind my teeth, which most people ...

Re: Healthcare Reform What Would You Do

Have not been around for a while so decided to glance through some comments here. Interesting that a while back I posted some thoughts about the health care bill that were soundly criticized by many of the "experts" on this site. Looks like you might now be convinced that this was poorly thought out...

Could not agree more. I doubted you would answer, as the question I posed requires knowledge and thought.

Perhaps you should stick with surfing the internet and reading comic books.

Re: Are Clinician Manuals Illegal

Interesting comments. Apparently we have a significant number of people in this chat room (yes, it is a chat room) that think they are attorneys or at the minimum like to practice law without the necessary training. I always get a good laugh with people that like to quote law while knowing nothing a...

If you must know I receive my news from a variety of sources and can actually read. It would appear that mine were some of the only original thoughts in this chat room.

Re: What's in the Healthcare Bill for You?

"What are you? ... some parrot that broke free from FOX NOISE.

I don't agree with or support the bill either but the least you can do is think for yourself. Geeze"

The above is the typical response of a liberal - I am entitled to my misguided opinion but you can't have yours.
