Re: S9 Climate Line has a hole!

I had the same problem but was able to return under warranty. This isn't the first that I've heard of this problem, so I think I'll order the F4 tape, just in case there is another problem...

Re: Newbie Can't Get Out Of The Gate/Mask Problems

The hybrid may be a good mask for you...but rather than buying through your RT / DME, I'd suggest checking out the cpapauction website. You can usually find new one there for somewhere around 50 dollars. Many do have very good luck with the hybrid mask, so I wouldn't trust your RTs opinion on that o...

Re: Prescription Hell

Your reply to their question should have been "Federal Law". If they still drag their feet ask them if they they would like to lose their Medicare business for not complying with the Federal Rules, Regulations and Laws. There is nothing better than turning their game around on them. Sleep Well Stev...

Re: A true "full face mask"

Interesting. I've been on xPap for 6 weeks now..my first mask was the Quattro. I also suffered from the raw nosebridge and/or bruised forehead...the microdial lets you choose one for the other. So a couple of weeks ago i purchased a Hybrid mask and have been using that for the last week. For the fir...

Re: CMS Cuts PAP Reimbursement in Nine Competitive Bidding Areas

So where are all those members that argued here for socialized medicine???? What do you think of this? Where do you think we are headed with Obamacareless? America can no longer afford decent Medicare, much less Obamacare. You put your faith in a big Federal government to take care of you. The writ...

Re: Resmed Quattro Full Face

yes, indeed. for me the quattro provides the choice of sore nose bridge or sore forehead from the support. i find the cushion deteriorates rather quickly which necessitates strap tightening or dialing down the micro-dial on the forehead support. my insurance will pay for a new cushion monthly, and I...

Does anyone know?

I was part of a discussion at lunchtime today where a co-worker was going on and on about her husbands snoring. He snores and snores loudly on a nightly basis, falls asleep at the drop of a hat, ect. I was just wondering on a stasitical basis, without regard to any 'symptoms' he might have how likel...
