Re: 1 full week down

stinkielee...that is fabulous news! I am so happy it worked out for you. Now I just need to get around the mental "gotta take this off so I can get some sleep mode". I feel like I wear it for at least 6 hours...and for some reason I still unintentionally (well, my subconscious is intentional) take i...

Re: Battery Kit & Insurance

I work in employee benefits, so I am fairly cognizant of what WE cover (and we have a pretty generous coverage). The battery pack is considered a luxury item and therefore not eligible. My CPAP machine works on two different volts so as long as I have a converter, I can take my internationally (Caym...

Re: I Hate My CPAP!

Val, I have nothing important to contribute to your frustration...but I do have a 20% off bed bath and beyond coupon that came in the last few days (I don't THINK I threw it out yet) and you are welcome to the code (or can US mail it) if you would like to get one of the items someone mentioned there...

1 full week down

My husband was gone for 3 nights last week (thurs-sun) so I finally got up the gumption to put the thing on from the get-go. After a few nights I was comfortable wearing it to bed even thou...

What does your insurance cover?

I seem to be in the minority (i think) in that my health insurance plan gave me my machine the morning of my sleep study (I was put on cpap during the study). Zero cost to me, no compliance requirement, and not put on a rental. The gal who got her machine at the same time (we both "failed" our sleep...

Re: Newbie (still in the bargaining stage) with typical newbie q

POssibly last question (from a newbie perspective?)....
What does second tritation mean? I have only had the sleep study (10 days ago). I will get to see/hear/read my results early October. So I have no idea what my "report" even says about me at this point....

Re: Hot Flash Hades

Last night was a nightmare.....hot flashes/night sweats all night long. Any advice would be highly appreciated. -- but after a couple of days, it falls off. I can't seem to find anything that will glue to and stay glued to the silicone that the masks are made from. Try scar removal stuff bandages (...

Re: Newbie (still in the bargaining stage) with typical newbie q

Newbie (still in the bargaining stage) with typical newbie q

First and foremost...I am usually pretty agreeable. But this whole cpap business has me grouchy (not out loud, just internally grouchyness in my head kind of thing). So if I come across cranky with my questions, I sincerely apologize. I am fairly healthy but got sucked into a sleep study by my GP af...
