On a totally different topic here, has anyone used a MAD device instead of cpap? The reason I am asking is that I am still having a terrible time getting used to a cpap. I would like any opiions on the mouthpieces from you all.

Thanks,

Folks I work for the GOV and mu OSA has been listed as a disability under the ADA. The GOV is required to accommodate my OSA by not letting me drive distances greater than 50 miles (I do a LOT of driving). At one time my supervisor had the gall to walk into my office space and demand, "That I had be...

Being a GOV employee I am protected by the fact that any and I do mean ANY medical disability (and apnea is a disability under ADA) is private. I was doing some research after I posted this and it seems that my Supervisor cannot under any circumstances discuss an employee's medical condition in fron...

All, I have an interesting question. Like most in here I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I informed my employer of this as we use GOV vehicles for work. I did not want to cause a danger by nodding off and having a crash. My employer has accommodated me by having someone else drive ...

As Snoredog stated, I got the replacement unit (the same typr and model) within 4 days (excluding the weekend) from billmyinsurance. I am really impressed with these folks! Plus, my unit is covered under warranty. Thanks for all the replys!

I actually did not use a DME and just went through billmyinsurance.com. They took all the insurance information, my prescription and "I" got to choose what I wanted! I have to admit that the folks there are fantastic! The hell with DME's. From what I have read on here they seem like sharks looking f...

All, Seems that I have to ship my Resprironics RemStar back to Billmyinsurance.com for repair. It seems that the unit (Only 2 months old) has develped a problem with the internal clock as well as with the auto C-flex feature of the unit. The pressure reading never changed from 10. The auto-on featur...

Also for information, my pressure on the Auto C-Flex varies from 10 to 20. Yeah know it's high but I'm a BIG guy! LOL

Evening All! I own a Resprionics RemStar that started a problem yesterday. There is a hourly counter on the unit that measures the total time I use the machine. This is in conjunction with another meter that shows how many nights of >+ 4 hours I have. My problem is this...the clock has stopped worki...

Lori?

Have you tried it with the full face mask yet? Let me know how it goes if you do!

Thanx,

Hey beneyw? As I am still the "new kid on the block" I experienced the exact same thing you did. I went and had my sleep study done, BC/BS paid all of it! Made my day! A week later I get a call from a lady stating she is with the supply side of the sleep study center at the hospital I went to. She q...

Good Morning All,

Has anyone had experience with the Oracle 452? Right now I am using a ComfortFull 2 full face mask. This mask seems to leak on a constant basis everytime I roll onto my side. As well as the Oracle 452 I am also considering the FlexiFit 431. Any opinions anyone?

Thanks
