Re: OT: How do you spell SPAM in Russian?

I don't know. Maybe I will ask Peggy from USA Prime Credit on FaceBook

Re: Doctor Visit Today - Looking for input

As a former paramedic - I understand the mechanism of action of benadryl, I was doing this as a quick fix as my GP would not give me anything for sleep and my Sleep Doc was on vacation. Today was the earliest I could get in. Hopefully she can get me something at least for the short term so I can get...

Re: CPAP Supplies from Walgreens

None of the Wallgreens in the Columbus Ohio area sell these supplies; but I heard about a new store in Columbus that just opened: http://cpapcentralonline.com/ Not much on the website yet, but I called them up and they are selling supplies / machines from ResMed, Phillips and F&P on a walk in basis....

Re: Doctor visit yesterday -- a couple of issues

Getting off Effexor - good luck. I tried and failed. Switched over to Celexa which went ok. Doc had me slowly lower the Effexor dose while slowly increasing the dose of Celexa over the course of a month. I found the side effects of Celexa were much worse than the Effexor and I was having better resu...

Doctor Visit Today - Looking for input

I am about three weeks into my CPAP therapy. I am feeling better but I am still having a few issues. I still have a horrible time falling asleep despite taking my home brew cocktail of 10mg melatonin and 2 benadryl. I take this about an hour before bedtime and still lie in bed for an hour to an hour...

Re: Quattro FX fit problem

I will try the baby wipes tonight. I have been using the swing down technique as well and fiddling with the straps.

As for my DME, I see my sleep doc tomorrow and I am going to ask for a script as there are other DME's around here

Re: Quattro FX fit problem

I will see if my DME can get F&P masks. At this point everything is ResMed or Respirionics.

Quattro FX fit problem

I am having some issues with my Quattro FX mask I just received from my DME, HomeReach. While I wait for a call back from then, as they are notoriously slow to call back, I will post my questions here. I am a new cpap user, little over 2 weeks and feeling much better. I started out on a Swift LT but...

Re: Encore Pro 2.2 Data Import - Help Needed

Main system is Windows 7 enterprise N 64 Bit, Virtual system is Windows XP SP 3, it will not tell me if it is 64 bit or not. I am assuming it is running 64 bit as well.

If this is the problem is there a 64 bit version of the software available?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Day four, Arggghhh, cheer me up.......

I too am a new CPAP user, just started my second week then. My first couple of days were pretty crappy as I too went to the GP because of insomnia. I had just taken my wife to a sleep study and while she was filling out the questionnaire I kept answering yes to quite of a few of the questions. I end...
