I had my second sleep study last night and it went okay. I told them about my troubles and concerns with the DME and the sleep center gave me a new Comfort Lite 2 for free.

I kind of had the same experience I didn't sleep well despite the prescribed sleep meds and the very comfortable bed.

New CPAP user. Help please.
Well I got my CPAP and I really like the machine (REMStar Pro 2 C-Flex), it's quiet and easy to use. My problem is with the masks that the DME has brought to me.
