Re: Travel CPap

I am a TSA precheck so the security process isn't the issue. I travel A LOT and constantly packing up my machine to travel (especially for the early flights, I like my sleep and don't like getting up earlier for this process) and then re-setting up at home and back and forth is just driving me craz...

Re: Travel CPap

If you do TSA pre screen, you do not have to remove the unit from the bag. And it is not counted as a carry on either. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk Nah, not paying 85 more bucks for the government to still get to violate the 4th amendment. I know they can't count it as another bag, it's ME t...

Re: Travel CPap

I have traveled with my prime machine (Resmed S9 BiPAP) and it's a brick. I'm normally a carry-on, minimalist traveler and it sucks. Either takes up a huge chunk of my bag space or I have to roll with another bag and damage my travel zen. Unless you don't care about carrying a bunch of crap I do not...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

6 months of therapy down and here are my findings: 1. Oxygen is our friend! First night on therapy I woke up early, cleaned the house and built a piece of furniture just because I had energy and nothing to do with it. Didn't sleep again for 48 hours - really shocked my brain to not die, I guess. 2. ...

New guy looking for BiPAP recommendations

Did some searching in the topics and found some information, but it seems easier to just ask... New guy here, did second sleep study last week and, after prying it out of them, have found out that the doc has prescribed me a biPAP. Doc has been quite good with me but I think the overall company is m...
