Re: Way to go you Idiots - APOLOGY ALSO

I have not read the offending original post, or the one referred to as being but I do know that it was just the straw that broke the camel's back or in this case, Pugsy's.. I do not post here often, and don't even visit the site frequently.... I, like so many others have found the help I needed,at t...

Re: HELP!

http://www.crownwear.com/ These are made for helmet liners and also a little pricey to try, but they work. The lined ones (silk) I think, especially don't muss the hair. The Sheriff's suggestion would probably be the best first trial if you could find a thin one that is not too hot Always something ...

Re: Is yearly appt. with sleep Dr. necessary??

Have an appt. coming up next month and just thinking,seems like a waste of time, money, gas; 90+ miles round trip. Last couple times I've been it's just, "how you doing, having any problems?

Re: Itchy nose wakes me up

ChunkyFrog post always has good advice however.... Stop trimming the nose hairs. As they grow out the coarse ends will itch even more than the normal tapered ends. For the male species, just don't see that as as option..(IMHO) But at least in my case I really don't think that is the problem, could b...

Re: Is yearly appt. with sleep Dr. necessary??

Thanks again Pugsy...Sounds like a plan!

Yeah and of course the sleep Doc and the one who does the medical card physicals are two different Drs.
You really wouldn't expect the sleep Dr. to stoop that low

I'm hoping that new card will be sufficient as per your suggestion

Re: Is yearly appt. with sleep Dr. necessary??

Yes Pugsy you are definitely correct, as usual; the rules, laws covering CDL's get more stringent all the time. Not long ago a health card was good for 2 years, now it is down to 1 year and the state has to have the new one before the old one expires so in reality it is less than a year... Should cl...

Re: Is yearly appt. with sleep Dr. necessary??

Thanks to all for the replies. Yes I do have sleepyhead, tho I don't think the latest version (9.3).....Understand all of it??? Not even close!! My Rx. just says cpap supplies as needed, doesn't say for life or any other time frame just when it was written. But last year when I ordered P10 from cpap...

Re: Itchy nose wakes me up

Hello EmilySleeps, Sorry you are having this problem and as I have asked this question before it must be a rare phenomenon reserved for a select few.........a different kind of torture? I too wake at least 2-3 times a night, pull the mask away and give my nose a good rub; it's really quite maddening...

Re: My new S9 was upside down this morning!

Thanks! I had considered that maybe I just accidentally pulled on the hose, but it was weird that it was completely flipped over. I have it on the floor, on top of one of those plant stands on wheels......you'd think it would have come off that stand, rather than just upside down on the stand. Oh w...

Re: A week without CPAP, how big an issue?

Welcome Jersey Biker, You are in the right place to get info and help. I also ride and would not think of being off cpap for a week. Having a Goldwing with matching trailer I have a lot more room than some, but feel the cpap is just as important as my toothbrush,underwear and other list of items we ...

Re: Question About Severity

I was given a brick to start with. Exchange went fairly easy when I insisted, didn't even have to tell them I had another DME that was willing to give me the machine I wanted. Do Not accept anything with Escape in the name. For my part it seems the DME people know less than I do at this point. There...

Re: 4th Day on CPAP - Question

I am envious of those AHI's and you say no leaks.

Tell us all your secrets. I usually have crazy leaks even when I have decent #'s . Last night was my best ahi in couldn't tell you when 0.29 and still had at least one leak that went to 47
