Re: ResMed Filter Question

If you still have the old filter, measure it, or trace around it on a piece of paper.
Then you can compare filters to see what will fit.
There is always the possibility the bozos at the DME don't even know what they have.
Would not be the first time.

Re: Okay to use used Bipap machine?

I suspect that most fear mongers (mongrels?) have skin in the game, i.e. sales of new machines.
The greatest danger is in not being treated--period!

Re: Elderly Father COPD and CPAP

I am sorry you are going through this. We naturally want our parents to continue forever; but there is only so much we can do. Let him know you love him, and keep repeating this every day. Only the knowledge that he is loved can motivate him to hang in there. When the struggle becomes too great, the...

Re: For Sale: Lowenstein Prisma 20A

It is not YOUR quota, but the forum has no room, the queue being filled and forgotten ages ago.
Load your images onto a free image server, and link to it there.
We all have to do it this way, as there is no budget for clearing out the old pictures.

Re: Weight loss drug trial claiming to reduce Sleep Apnea. Hmmm?

Apnea vs weight loss--isn't this a chicken vs egg debate?
It disturbs me that so many "cpap alternatives" are nothing more than the product of
99% greed vs 1% science.

Re: New spray offers hope for people with common sleep condition

" . . . The study might be useful to justify additional studies:"

I can also see how these results could be ported directly over to advertising--
As is so often done.
Forget definitive study--just do enough to fool the maggots.

Re: Please help me on my situation

"Don't need auto . . . "
They pulled that crap on me--I really, really NEED APAP!
Eff anybody who says otherwise!
Some folks benefit from single pressure; and only an APAP is capable of BOTH!

Re: New user introduction

I have found that a soft fabric mask liner, like Pad a Cheek, is more effective
and more comfortable.
Paper does nothing for me.

Re: Weight loss drug trial claiming to reduce Sleep Apnea. Hmmm?

. . . In people who did use PAP machines, Zepbound led to an average reduction of 30.4 events per hour, compared to an average reduction of 6 events per hour for the placebo group." . . . This statement better serves as evidence that cpap settings are customarily WRONG. Many of us have no need for ...

You have done the best you could.
Maybe you have actually made a dent in her mush.
If not, there is nothing anyone could have done.

Re: Resmed water chamber issues

The airsense 10 tanks have a very fine line between the fill line and the spill line--
Especially when one experiences a tremor.
(I say "experiences" as opposed to "suffers",
because minor annoyance is not suffering to me.)
