Thanks Pugsy and Otter for the links. Otter I looked up http://www.secondwindcpaps.com. They DO have great prices. I don't see my exact machine right now but I just don't know how important that is. It's confusing when there are several (or at least 3) that look exactly alike but have different name...

Thank you everyone! And howdy back at ya, Startybartfast. (hope I have that correct!) I'm in the northern part of OC - Yorba Linda. One thing I can't figure out is what the RemStar means - the machine I'm using does not say "rem-star" on it. Both the link one of you kindly gave me and I got from our...

Hi Everyone, I need to buy a machine and I'm planning on buying a new Respironics System One Bi-PAP Auto Bi-Flex with humidifier, which I've been using and which works well. Insurance won't pay for any more coverage and since it's likely I'll have OSA forever, even with weight loss, I want to buy a ...

Hello Everyone, I haven't checked the boards for a long. Just wanted to give a bit of encouragement as well as celebrate with people who understand! I had my 2 night sleep study the last two days of July. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea with a 102 apneas per hour average. I have been using a...

Junebug - you've influenced me already! When I was grocery shopping today, I bought some Johnson's Head-to-Toe baby wash for my "baby" - my mask. I wouldn't have thought of this if you hadn't mentioned it. (The baby wash was the same price per ounce as the baby shampoo and almost the same ingredient...

Hi John, Thanks so much for all the info - and the reassurance! I read it once and am going to have to read it a few more times to really absorb it. I don't know if it's too many years of bad sleep or just hormones or what, but lately I feel less intelligent than I used to me - too much brain fog. I...

Thanks, cflame1 for the info.

Hi Bons, Hawthorne, Twentysix, JuneBug999 and Big Daddy! Thank you all for your replies. I guess I'm not really worried that I'm going to die in my sleep anytime soon - just a little concerned for the long term after reading what central apnea is. Bons - you really are right where I am the journey a...

Oops - obviously I meant "positive experience wouldn't hurt" not "wouldn't help." I need to try to sleep soon. I've always been a night owl.

Hi to whomever reads this, and thank you. Honestly, I think I'm just looking for some comforting words or even sympathy, although positive experience with this situation wouldn't help. I got diagnosed with sleep apnea 2 months ago and since my apneas averaged 102 an hour, I am now on a BiPAP machine...

Never mind - I went to the FAQ page and think I found my answer. I should have done that first. Sorry. Now if I find out how to delete this message, I will!

Hello,

I'm a new user and I just saved a draft of a message I was writing, and now I can't figure out how to find the draft. Can anyone tell me?

Thank you!
