I can't tell if you are replying to my original post or my update. It sounds like the DME will be getting me a DreamStation Auto Cpap. They are not associated with the Dr. and I think my Dr. is good, its the sleep lab that I'm ticked at for how he was talking stupid to me. But it all may be just fi...

Listen. Quite frankly, thats NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I am telling you this as a sleep doc. The only thing that would maek me comfortable is the following: Ask for the following: AutoPAP - ONLY AutoPAP. Even if your doctor writes prescription for regualr CPAP and they tell you they have you give you regular...

What makes that study reliable, Palerider? And if I'm not mistaken that study wasn't peer reviewed. So, can you explain why why we should believe the study is reliable and would you post some evidence of pèr review. If not, you shouldn't be posting information of questionable value, should you? If ...

not sure why anyone is beating around the bush.

Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset (+/- for Her) or Respironics Dreamstation Auto

IMHO, I would not waste my time with anything else.

granted the above is if we are talking about CPAP. can substitute in respective models for bilevel, asv, etc.

What City/State do you live in?

Pugsy, I don't think you need to worry about the snarky remarks. It is a bit sad that this is the first impression of many newcomers to the forum, but you are doing a TON of good. I may post from time to time, but I have no where near the dedication/time you have in regards to this forum. I think de...

I ordered the regular supplies (face mask cushion, tubing, etc) and the next day I got a call from the doctor who prescribed the CPAP machine more than 2 years ago telling me that I need to come for a visit in order for the supplies order to get through (“Medicare requirement” I was told). I am on ...

to update, I just picked up my new machine so other than the first 7 days trial, no time on it yet. It is a REMstar Auto A-Flex. Some other possibly pertinent info. For years now, I have been using a Tempurpedic adjustable bed. I try to mostly sleep on my back in the so-called zero-gravity position...

what would your mask choice have to do with your chinstrap choice? Perhaps I am confused by your question.

Palerider, you are a god damn jack ass who really makes me question whether I should continue to encourage patients to come to this forum. it's entirely up to you, 'doc' as to whether you recommend people come to what is arguably the best site for cpap information on the net, or not. what kind of s...

[and, how do *YOU* oh god of sleep medicine, propose to optimize his therapy? by asking her if hubby can get it up, or by getting the right data to see what appears to be wrong with the treatment, AND FIXING THAT? Several Ways but before we begin: 1. I have never thought of myself as a GOD, but wow...

Here's what some of you don't understand. Here's what a lot of doctors DON"T understand. The personal stuff matters here's what YOU don't understand... whether or not your hubby can get it up really has nothing at all to do with the efficacy of his cpap treatment, which is what we're trying improve...

for years I have encouraged my patients to join forums like cpaptalk so that they can ask questions and share their experiences while learning from others. Palerider, you are a god damn jack ass who really makes me question whether I should continue to encourage patients to come to this forum. You s...

I'm interested in the Dreamstation, think it has a lot of nice features esp for traveling, which I do a lot of. But not having Sleepyhead (yet) is maybe a deal breaker. I am a Mac user and don't really want to buy something like Parallels so I can run one piece of software (Encore pro). Thinking of...
