Re: Help, I NEED HELP, AND ANSWERS :(
Deborah, try this: When you put your mask on, try putting it on very loose, then lie down, turn on your cpap, and then re-adjust it, but slowly, tightening just a little at a time, until the leaks stop. Re-read the instructions that came with your mask, or go to their website, some of the mask make...

Re: Help, I NEED HELP, AND ANSWERS :(
Hi everyone, Sorrry I havn't been around, just was having such a hard time I didn't think I was going to get on the other side of it all. I will try all the things you have said, but calling the Resp Therp is a first on my list. This having to wake up several times during the night is making it hard...

Re: Loss of pressure in the Morning
I am pretty sure we have the same machine. Mine kept turning off when I first got it!!! Then had me change the settings over the phone, and it still did it. I know what your talking about in the am, and it feels like nothing is even coming out. I now see that the water is almost gone, and only 1/4 l...

Help, I NEED HELP, AND ANSWERS :(
I , have not been here for awhile as I am batteling with such a case of depression. I can't get the new mask to stop making this awfully loud noise, went back to my old one, and now it's doing it too! I had the straps really tight so I let them out a bit, and the old mask made the same noise last ni...

Re: Aha! I was right about Hypothyroid and Sleep Apnea
So glad you had this here! I have the RX for this to all be done, but I am so tired I can't even get there! After seeing this I will make it a point to drag my butt in there. I am still not doing so great as even my new mask leaks, and makes this awful billowing nose. I went back to my old one, and ...

Re: Medicare???
Thanks Matt, I live in Calif, and I don't have to pay anything at all, just have to use it for 30 days, send in the chip, and then they see if I am using it more than 4 hours daily, and if not I do get 2 more months to keep trying to get used to it. If not then your going to really have to either bu...

Re: Medicare???
I am just grateful I didn't have to do that, or we don't in California. If your doctor fills out the paperwork, and you go see them for the interview, you are usually approved, and get all the backpay from the first day it was filed. We do have some here in CA that do have to get a lawyer, but they ...

Re: Bad DMEs and Switching Machines
I called cooporate office, and told them the kind of treatment I was getting, and also had documented all that was said to me. I filed a verbal complaint, and then also sent one via e-mail. Now they are calling me daily to see if I am ok, if my equipment is working, and they now deliver to me, and I...

Re: Having problems with Resperonics Auto A-flex
Hello! I am a new member and a new CPAP-user. I recently got this Resperonics Auto A-flex unit that I'm having an odd problem with. The reason I say odd is that, so far, it is mystifying both the sleep-lab that prescribed it and also Apria, the supplier. After a few minutes the machine starts givin...
