I'm so disappointed to hear that others have this problem too. I was using the regular Quattro and hated that forehead thingy, but I may have to go back to it. I had another bad night last night with the FX.I'm planning on calling my DME today to see if I can get another cushion. Maybe that will hel...

Hi! It's been a while since I've posted here. Hope everyone is well... I'm having a problem with the cushion of my QFX mask. I seem to be getting a good seal between the cushion and my skin, but the past few nights I've had leaking near my eyes because the cushion separated from the mask. Last night...

I use the contour PAPillow and love it. I'm also a side sleeper. Got mine from Overstock...about half of what the usual price is and $2.95 shipping.

Hi All, Glad to say I am in Florida for a couple of months trying to find warm weather.(Although it was in the 50's this AM and I'm in the Keys!!!) Anyway, my friend's husband has been on CPAP a long time. She's a nurse and I was surprised to find that I know more about the treatment, machines, etc....

Peacful dreams in 2011! I know what my resolution needs to be. It's been one year since DH and I quit smoking. I also joined the YMCA and have been exercising 3 times a week. This year I need to lose the 15 lbs I gained since I quit. Anything over 15 lbs will be a bonus Funny thing is I don't think ...

Thanks Hawthorne, that's what I thought. I had a rough night last night. Hope this thing goes away...looks like I'll be in Dreamland when the New Year comes! Hope you have a peaceful, dreamy 2011!

I have a miserable cold and have been coughing alot during the night. My AHI was 1.8 and Periodic Braething, which has always been 0%, was 2%. Could my cold be the cause of the increase in Periodic Breathing?

Thanks,
Madelyn

I'm also suffering from a cold with all the bells and whistles. I actually feel better using my Quattro. DH said he didn't hear any snoring only heavy coughing. I AM miserable during the day. My AHI was 1.8, but my Periodic Breathing was at 2% and it's usually at 0%! Can coughing cause this to incre...

Don't ya just love a happy ending! i really do!! My husband was ready for an argument, but even he remarked at how nicely we were treated. I'm so happy I found this forum... I think I know almost as much as the DME . When I was teaching, I was expected to be "up" on everything happening in my field...

The DME should replace it with a brand new one as it is under warranty. It is easy to get water in the unit, depsite the "dry box" technology. And they did! I was pleasantly surprised at how nice I was treated today. She couldn't do enough for me. Got a brand new machine and humidifier. One thing I...

You're right Hosehead, it's good to have a backup. If I still wasn't getting credit card bills from Christmas, I'd order one tomorrow It is something to work on in the near future. I'll check Craig's List; I just don't know about using one that someone else has used. maybe it's just me... I'll let y...

talk to your insurance... find out which DME's are on their list. Question though... are you still renting? If so, you setup getting a new machine from another DME... when it's arranged you return the current machine to the current DME (until it gets returned you/your insurance will still be paying...

OK...so I'm home now and called the DME this morning. They're closed today because of the snowstorm yesterday. I have to call in the morning to see if they'll be open!!! I asked what the procedure is if my machine needs to be repaired. They check the machine; if it's a simple fix, they do it. Otherw...

I never had a problem with it shutting down before this. I've only been on CPAP since August. On Monday I will have it checked, even though it's working again. I'll be leaving for 3 months in Florida after New Year's Eve and I don't want to have problems down there. I will ask them what to do if I h...

I'm now at my daughter's house in PA for Christmas. My husband tried plugging the machine in and so far it's working. I had a message "service required". it just started beeping during the night and the blower stopped. Keeping my fingers XXXd that it hangs on until Monday AM. Thanks for all your hel...
