Re: Does the S9 AutoSet have an alarm?
Taping the mask on hasn't helped thus far. Apparently I'm quite adept at removing tape in my sleep, too I'm about ready to try duct tape wrapped around my head a few times, but I don't relish trying to get that goo it leaves behind out of my hair. I do have a pulse oximeter (CM50whatever) with an al...

Re: Resmed S9 compared to its previous model
My S9 AutoSet is so quiet that my husband thought I was dead the first night I used it. He couldn't hear me OR the machine!

Does the S9 AutoSet have an alarm?
I keep taking my mask off while I'm sleeping, and it's bugging the crap out of me. I WANT to be 100% compliant, but I'm thwarting myself. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find a definitive answer...does the S9 AutoSet have an alarm for this situation or not? I have gone through the cli...

How much Control III
How much Control III should I use per gallon of water? The bottle says 1 or 2 poz, and I am not sure which.

Re: A question regarding Apnea, driver licensing & insurance
The results I was given after my sleep study have this in the "treatment" recommendations: 5. The patient should not drive or conduct any activity which requires him to be alert, until effectively treated. I have no idea whether they report patients to the DMV, and my DL isn't from this state, so I ...

Re: CPAP Basics - 1
What about the scenario where .patients opt only for periodic visits with their Drs to monitor their therapy but they have a brick so what is there to monitor except the usual "how do you feel" ? That's really scary. That's exactly what the person I was talking about did. Not that he opted for only...

Re: CPAP Basics - 1
Later, Never Nellie’s Doctor told her that the reason that she fell asleep at the wheel was that she wasn’t getting enough quality rest. Jim Really? How many people need to be told they don't sleep well. This is one I've never understood. I can answer this. Those people throw the machine into their...

TrueFit mask, anyone seen this?
I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm curious why a company in the US isn't doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4cvgYW9FqM

Re: Where can I buy CPAP machine without prescription?
You could have a friend who uses CPAP in the US purchase a machine for you with their prescription, I can't think how that would break any laws, since we resell machines without seeing prescriptions? Alternatively, I know mcdover and STL Mark have great reputations on this forum for their used machi...

Re: Social Security?
$2500 is a good chunk of money, IMO, particularly when you have paid in for years and years for this 'benefit'. I don't know how much he paid the attorney, but I am sure this individual knows about any rules about how much can be charged, as he worked in the longterm care field for many years and de...

Re: Social Security?
The problem is, SSA denies even legitimate claims, obvious claims. Someone close me fought them for 2 years before he finally got disability, his disabilities were well documented, and should have been approved immediately. He did receive back pay when he was finally approved, but of course a good c...

Re: New Diagnosis, Titration Tomorrow!
If you are sleeping, you need to be using it. It's not something you can use once in a while, this is a forever thing, because anytime you are sleeping, you're at risk for the O2 drops. While I am new to CPAP, I am not new to nursing or babies. I nursed and coslept with 5 of them. If you plan to lay...
