Are you un- or under-insured? Need a FFM?
Sorry all, both masks have been claimed. If I come up with any more I will let you all know. If you sent a PM and were not accommodated, I will save these and give you priority next time. I have good insurance, so I can change masks with little to no cost... I don't change for the sake of it, but I...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it
I use a Swift FX 95% of the time, but sometimes my allergies get the best of me so I need a FFM. I have tried several FFM's, without much success (I know, they are the most difficult to get used to). Anyways - Got the Q-Fx and slept all darn night without incident. It is very lightweight, the headge...

SA an Stroke... Opinions welcome!
My sister, age 32, has recently suffered her second stroke in 12 years. Fortunately, with no adverse affects. She just came back from Mayo and they can't find what is causing this. They were able to rule out a host of potential causes( brain tumor, heart disease, etc). She is 5'6", 115 lbs - does no...

Re: System one seems to miss out on a lot???
Jonquiljo My statement was prompted more by what Janknitz wrote. Again, not specific to your post. I hesitated to post, and should have saved it for a stand-alone. I definitely don't want to discourage ANY questions, instead, I simply want to encourage patience. Wish I had some good advice for your...

Re: System one seems to miss out on a lot???
WHY are you sweating the small stuff??? You could tweak yourself into oblivion and never be satisfied. My advice for the time being is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Relax and enjoy feeling better for a change. Amen. There are a lot of folks posting poor, or perceived poor results the day af...

Re: Swift FX and PR system One issue
I'm just getting started with therapy, and have not used anything other that the FX, but I get that puff of air if my breathing slows prior to falling asleep. My range is 8-12, and the puff isn't too bad... What is your base pressure? If it's high to begin with then I suspect that puff would be some...

Re: Insurance woes with my new machine!!
Often times your Health Ins will require your Dr to do a predetermination... or whatever it's called, prior to authorizing your sleep study, then a follow-up statement of medical necessity for the CPAP Rx. My guess is your Dr's office didn't do this - or if they did, they forgot to send it to your I...

Re: are you fully recovered after CPAP or still tired?Poll pleas
I am 2 weeks into treatment. I am a different sort of tired now. The kind of tired that says, "dang - you did a lot today"! Not the, "I'm to tired to do anything except be tired all day" feeling I had prior to therapy. I selected option 1 as it was the closest too how I feel. I don't know that anyon...

Beer? Edit...
I know this guy who went to a friend's and accidentally drank a beer too many. Will tonight be horrible on the machine? Should this person I know be concerned about anything (besides the obvious wit alcohol)?
