My Dr. did suggest allergy medication, which I do take every day during allergy season. I had been buying Claritin but then noticed that the store brand has the identical ingredient. I talked to the pharmacist, and he confirmed that they are identical, so I buy the store brand at 1/4 the price. It d...

Interesting article about Resmed's reasons for changing pricing for internet suppliers. Now I'm very confused, as I'm trying to figure out what kind of follow up and service I received from my original suppier when they billed my insurance company for $2,800 2 1/2 years ago when I received my APAP. ...

Boston Lass, As a 52 year old male, married 24 years, I may not be the best qualified to give you advice, but I was saddened to see that you somehow think you may not be good enough to date, form a relationship, etc., now that you will be using a CPAP. The fact that you use a CPAP doesn't make you f...

I have used a full fac mask since starting with a CPAP (actually APAP) about 2 1/2 years ago. I would be surprised that you could drool enough to drown. As has previously been mentioned I just clean the mask regularly. In answer to your question about the red marks - Absolutely I get them, but now t...

I have to give my wife credit for this idea: instead of a clip I use Chrustmas ribbbon and tie the hose the the head board and it works great. The headboard just happens to have the right place to tie the hose on the side.

Politicians would be a great fit also, but since many of them are also attorneys we probably had most of them covered. Drs. are also a good fit.

Here's the answer: There are skid marks in front of the Coyote.

Lets lighten this one up a bit. Since an alleged attorney started the thread here we go: A member of the Highway patrol is on his usual route and notices an attorney and a coyote dead on the road. He stops to investigate and notices one major difference in the two accident scenes. Does anyone know w...

You missed the point. However, if you study the countries that have nationalized health care I think you will finbd that it is not a cure all, and it is not perfect either. If nationalized health care was so great we wouldn't see people from a foreign country with nationalized health care coming to ...

Interesting reading about the conspiracy theories posted above. I seriously doubt that the first post here is written by an attorney, as companies are allowed to use differential pricing. As a matter of fact it is encouraged in the business world and happens all the time. Differential pricing can ea...

I agree with Goof Proof. My machine also registers times used greater than four hours. However, I pay more attention to the actual hours - MIne is typically anywhere from 7 to 8 hours a night. I have used my CPAP religiously for the 2 1/2 years I have had it - It stays on all night every night. As I...

Correct. I do not sell CPAPs - Not even in the medical field.

I explored surgery with my Dr. when I discovered I had OSA. He said absolutely not. Didn't like his answer so I went to a surgeon to discuss it. He said the same thing - absolutely not. They both said that even with the surgery I would still ultimately be using the CPAP. One said 50/50 chance of suc...

Given the fact that I (mainly my insurance company) have paid as much as $400 for a far less than perfect mask I would be happy to see my insurance company pay $200 for the perfect mask. I would go so far as to pay for it myself if they didn't. When you find that mask please post it all over the pla...

I fly often and have never had a problem with my going through security. Occasionally (maybe 20% of the time) they will actually check it after it's scanned. The medical equipment label means nothing, as they still check it, which I have no problem with them doing.
