Re: Husband says CPAP is scary and unattractive...

Your husband is pretty delusional about the effectiveness of your machine. Sounds like instead of learning about your device and your sleep needs he just rejects you and your needed machine. That to me sounds like someone who can't make small mental adjustments in their life and that is what is trul...

Re: Help with ASV settings…

I feel like all ASVs dont feel natural. I mean with Resmed youll probably adapt either but I can tell you Respironics was really difficult for me to get used to. But once you do it is amazing

Re: Replace a Dead ResMed CPAP machine

I bought a Resmed 10 Aircurve ASV for $500 with 800 hrs on Facebook marketplace. They usually do have lots of great offerings there. I recommend.

Lack of sleep does. SA might in the short term until your sleep is corrected

Re: How to buy a used cpap

Understood, yeah I mean you can buy machines with a little as 100 hours or as much as 15,000. You would also buy a new hose and filters. I think some places thoroughly clean them before selling them. But yeah like you said you would need to know what to look for. I wish I had the money for a new on...

Re: ASV keeps restarting

I just did and it still happens. Is the power supply supposed to be kind of little hot but not too hot after running it for like 5 minutes? When I turned on the machine it was running normally and then after like 5 minutes it started resseting itself. I ordered a used power supply on EBay does anyon...

Re: How to buy a used cpap

I never went the normal route of obtaining an ASV.A regular APAP was no good for me after trying many times. I purchased an ASV, fiddled with the settings, read my sleep data until I no longer wake up. I did get sleep studies/titration which confirmed my sleep apnea and was provided an APAP which di...

Re: How to buy a used cpap

I have medicaid for my insurance. United Healthcare Community Plan specifically. I would like for the insurance to cover it but I use an ASV instead of a regular CPAP so its a bigger hurdle to get it with insurance.

Also thanks for the additional info on tips for purchasing a machine

How to buy a used cpap

I was wondering if I'm supposed to be looking at the blower hours or something else to determine how many hours the machine was used. I see some postings without any run time hours so im not really sure what to look for

Re: Cpap "flipping" over

I put velcro tape strips under the machine and on my nightstand. The machine isn't going to come off from accidently pulling on it.
