Re the Doctor's comment about straight CPAP being better than APAP, I've wondered about this myself. Being relatively new to using a machine, and starting out with APAP, CFlex I find myself trying to sync my breathing to the machine and when I slow my breathing I feel the machine trying to anticipat...

Thanks for the MyEncore Software

Thanks Derek for the MyEncore Software and thanks to Rested Gal and Linda 3032 for the help. Now if only we could get rid of EncorePro altogether. Better yet, if the DME cartel would only be the "professionals" they claim to be, and encourage the industry to develop and adopt an open standard that c...

This is just disgusting. If it isn't illegal, it should be. This reminds me of a letter a retailer once referenced in his catalog saying that he could no longer sell a certain computer companies products via mail because the manuffacturer wanted the dealings with the customers to be face-to-face. Si...

I think Booty was looking for an ED website when he stumbled in here by accident. I think the "rainy night' remark was just code for the plumbing not working. He's really got plenty of time on his hands at night. It's sad really.

Home Care Provider Step-Up Instructions?

I ordered and received a Respironics APAP with C-Flex and humidification. I read the User's Manual and it has a warning about "home provider setup" and following the not-included "Home Care provider Instructions". I don't have a "home provider" is there anyhting magical that I am missing or can I se...

[quote="mikemoran"] My suggestion would be get the current Remstar. Sure it may not be as small but it is a proven machine and has good software. It is not like it will be obsolete when the M comes out. Too many use it so it will be fully supported. If your apnea is severe you need therapy as soon a...

As far as I can tell those are strictly CPAP machines and I am interested in the A(uto)PAP models. Thanks.

Buy Now or Wait for New Respironics?

I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea and have not purchased a machine yet. After having had my second sleep study, this one with CPAP, asking advise from someone knowledgable, and looking at my choices on the Internet, it looked like the Respironics APAP with C-flex was the unit I want. However, af...
