Re: DeVilbiss Wants Your Input

I am really disappointed in a lot of these replies. You guys want frivolous things like mp3 players, clocks, color screens etc. All of that will just be something else to break and will cost more. Hose out the back is just fine with me. I don't need all of that other crap either. I hope you guys con...

Re: 2 hours with swift fx

Thank you for your responses! I will follow the tips and see what improvements I can make. I may well have had it too tight thinking that was required to keep a seal.

2 hours with swift fx

I took it off and my old mirage activa never felt so good when I put it on. Just looking at it thought I had found the nasal cushions of my dreams. Actually using it was a very different. I had to sleep flat on my back to keep it from leaking. Then because I wasn't used to having anything inside my ...

Re: Doctor Spreading Dangerous Misinformation in Richmond, VA?

And what about sleep apnea affecting mostly overweight males? Seriously??? Do you disagree that OSA patients are usually overweight males? Cause the Mayo Clinic thinks they are. I don't see anywhere that the quoted doctor said skinny women aren't also affected. They just aren't the largest demograp...

Re: IntelliPAP Standard Plus CPAP Machine w/SmartFlex

Okay sorry I didn't specify in my post but I don't care about data, humidity, heat or anything other than reduced pressure when exhaling which I believe this one has. i am not into all of the extras. Just want a reliable, preferably quiet, CPAP

Re: Teena Marie dies from sleep apnea

First you say she did and then you say you wonder if she did. Very misleading topic.

Re: Gene Simmons,(KISS) has sleep apnea

Gene Simmons.....hmmmm....didn't he USED to be somebody? So, is he REALLY an OSA patient, or does he just play one on TV? Gene's net worth is 300 million so in my mind that would make him a somebody. Read an interview where Gene stated that he and Paul Stanly had both grossed over a billion each in...

Re: Can your doc make you use a DME?

It has been a little over two days so I called them. The person who answered the phone looked on the computer and said they were waiting for the doctor to sign it. Of course that is just a generic response and doesn't mean he will sign it for me to take wherever I want. But I still maintain hope.

Re: Can your doc make you use a DME?

Anything the doctor writes is part of your medical records. A prescription must be part of it because it is part of your treatment that any subsequent doctor involved in your care MUST know about in order to avoid any issues with conflicting drugs or other treatments. I am in agreement with you and...

Re: Can your doc make you use a DME?

GumbyCT I am not seeing the information in those links where it states that a prescription is part of your medical records or where is says a doctor has to give you your prescription. If I or anyone else is going to get into a row with our drs over this more specific links would be useful if you hav...

Well that is a curve ball. If there is a law I wish someone would give a source or a link.

Re: Can your doc make you use a DME?

Thanks to all of you for your responses I haven't heard from the dr office yet but I will wait at least one more full day. The way the nurse acted on the phone is what made me suspicious. When I told her I don't use a company and wanted to buy it on the Internet her voice changed and she said "I wil...
