Equipment for sale
I have a Resmed S-9 Escape & H51 heated humidifier I tried for 90 days without success. Anyway they're not doing me any good sitting in my closet. They're like brand new. I've got two masks (Opus & Swift FX) and extra tubing. I'm looking for any reasonable offer.

My 90 days are up
I turned in my SD card to my DME as my 90 days is up since I got my CPAP machine. I assume I am Medicare compliant. Does that mean that my DME is done looking at the usage of my machine or will they still need to see my SD card periodically. I'm hoping that's the end of it. They are over fifty miles...

Is there anyway to upgrade my machine?
The CPAP machine I have doesn't give me any data besides the hours of use. I wish I had gotten the S9 Autoset instead of the Escape. Unfortunately until I came to this forum I didn't know the difference. Am I stuck with the inferior machine or is there someway I can an upgrade? I'm retired and have ...

1st visit to sleep dr. since I got my CPAP mach.
Today was the first time I went to the sleep doctor since I got my CPAP machine on 9/28/12. I don't know what I expected but it seemed like a waste of time and money. She had some questions for me. Was it helping me sleep better? No, not really. Do I feel any better? Same answer. Do I think I got an...

Re: Suggestions for a newbie buying a mask?
I have the Opus 360 and the Swift FX. I prefer the later. For me it's more comfortable especially when I'm sleeping on my side. I have claustrophobia so I didn't even think about a full mask.

Re: Homemade pillows?
Yes. I took an old wedge shaped foam pillow and customized it. I took an electric knife and shaped it to the desired shape. My goal was to be able to sleep on my side. I kinda cut the corners off on two sides and shaved it down so it would be comfortable for me. I already had the pillow and I took a...

Re: How can I add my photo to my profile?
While all the advice is appreciated I feel kinda computer dumb. I need to be walked through it from the beginning. I have a photo in my computer I took with my webcam but that's as far as I got.

How can I add my photo to my profile?
I'm new to the site and I'm trying to figure things out. It's not that big a deal but it would be nice. I tried going to the Control Panel but that didn't help.

Re: What to do about sinus congestion
Even when I don't have a head cold I have a problem with sinus congestion. I'm one of those people addicted to nasal sprays and have been for a couple of years. This might seem like a foolish question but is there something that I could put in my humifier water that would help with the congestion p...

How do you deal with a head cold
I'm congested and I'm coughing. How can I use my machine? I'm new to CPAP. I have a Resmed S9 Escape, H5i humidifier and an Opus 360 mask. I'm worried about being Medicare compliant and right now I can't stand the idea of using my machine. I'm having trouble getting used to it as it is. Any advise w...
