Re: Any one heard about nasopharyngeal tube to treat OSA?

As an EMT, I have heard of these, but we use them in patients who have an airway compromise. I have joked about using one instead of the cpap, but I don't think it would be very comfortable.

Re: Newbie-My Insurance Won't Cover My Cpap Machine : (

I started with the DME until my insurance would not pay. I went to secondwindcpap.com. I got a Resmed Elite II that had 2 hours on it for $299. Check him out. He stands behind his equipment. The first one he sent me would not record data. He replaced it no questions asked.

Re: Sticker shock.

Have you looked at secondwindcpap.com? He has machines with less than 500 hours on them, cleaned and tested. I bought a ResMed Elite II with 200 hours on it for $299.00.

Re: How to tweak Mirage Liberty MasK?

I had trouble with this mask at first. I went to the small pillows and tape. I put the tape around the pillow and the outer part of each nare to help seal it on the outside and push the pillow in toward the center of my face. This works great together with getting the head gear adjusted. I find when...

Re: I'm mad as heck and I'm not gonna take it any more!

Insurance said it was fine. They even said send in the bill for reimbursement, or in my case application to deductible. The doctor was fine with it. In fact his office was mad when they found out about the lack of service I was getting. I purchased a ReMed S8 Elite II from Secondwindcpap.com. It had...

I'm mad as heck and I'm not gonna take it any more!

I found out this weekend that my insurance will not pay for my cpap until the deductible is met. My DME sent me a letter in the beginning saying my insurance will pay 80%. Now, six weeks in, I want to return my machine and cut my losses and buy what I want . I thought that I would get all kinds of s...

Re: CPAP and Intimacy.

I've just started 2 weeks ago. My first night I was so excited to sleep, boom, I put it on and forgot about her. Now, I am like you, I wait till we get a chance to wind down, talk about the day and say goodnight.

Re: Where to Put Your CPAP

I have put mine in the top drawer of my nightstand. I cut a hole in the back for the power cord. In the morning everything goes back in the drawer out of sight. It will also stay cleaner in here as it is enclosed 16 hours per day. I just open the drawer at night, hookup and go to sleep.

Just diagnosed

Good evening to all. I am so glad that I found you! I had my sleep study done on the 18th and diagnosed with moderate OSA. I am going in for a titration study on the 24th. I know soon after this I will be getting my own cpap. I live in a small town and I want to go with the National DME. Do they giv...
