Re: Legal to Sell Resmed Swift?
Yes on Ebay it is all in the wording. I have seen mask and pillows with free gift for a full set up. I think it is all in not announcing it is the full set up. I can tell you I got a full swift FX for her set up in the last month on Ebay for $40 with shipping so I don't know if or how long it will t...

Re: wisp cpap mask with fabric headgear
Wow so sorry you had such a bad experience with using the wisp. All the masks I have tried use the same material for the headpiece and some use it on the face as well. Wisp was the first mask I tried and actually my favorite. I can say one thing in that there is no way for the airport to blow air ba...

Right on their pages there is a free shipping code right now HOPE2014 and they are giving 5 percent to the national breast cancer society. I notice I get free shipping codes on Facebook often too. HTH

Re: Awful Sleep Center Rant
Welcome to Illinois. I am in Northwestern IL. Your experience is very similar to mine although I requested copies of my sleep study to be sent to me from the company I had to call to set up the sleep study. Took over a month for an appointment for each sleep study. Regular doctor wants me seeing a s...

Re: CPAP Class Action for causing eye/sinus infections
There is no way your mask or machine could cause pink eye unless you shared the mask with someone who had pink eye and you didn't disinfect it afterward which would be the users fault. I am someone who suffers from allergies and in the past had the most awful continuous sinus infections. I just star...

Re: Conflicting results. Complex Apnea or not?
I know more about thyroid issues than sleep apnea since I am just under 3 months into using cpap but have had hypothyroidism and hashimoto's for about 20 years and had my thyroid removed last year due to thyroid cancer. I do think you should find a neurologist or doctor who specializes in sleep diso...

Re: New sleep apnea pill study
angeltink, This study on L-tryptophan, a serotonergic supplement, regarding the effect of sleep apnea was done in 1983 on 15 people. It looks like it had a dramatic improvement. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6360258 That is why I find the current study you linked to interesting about serotonin...

Re: New sleep apnea pill study
Supposedly it boosts serotonin which stops the your throat from relaxing as it normally does during sleep. I am sure there will be many sleep studies to prove it works if it ever goes to market.

Re: Adjustable bed -- what a difference
I love my adjustable bed. I have had it almost 10 years now and need a new mattress. My base is leggit and Platt and the mattress is Latex. You can not use a bed with springs with an adjustable base but can use Latex, memory foam, sleep number, and there are some new ones by Serta and Sealy out ther...

New sleep apnea pill study
Just saw WGN news tonight that doctors are doing a study using a pill called dronabinal to boost serotonin levels while we sleep so our airway doesn't relax as much as it typically does. Here is the link http://wgntv.com/2014/09/30/a-pill-for-sleep-apnea/ There is a phone number to call for more inf...

Re: I'm sleeping on my back thanks to Wisp
Welcome to the only way I can sleep without having hip and back pain the next day. I too use the wisp and because I sleep on my back and don't move I don't even have to tighten the mask at all. I really like it but am going to try the swift fx pillows to see if I like those better. Pugsy, I know wha...

Re: O/T Thyroid Meds
My BP med is a water retention one with no stickers on it that say to take with food. Honestly, my blood pressure was only high in that particular doctors office who put me on it. I despised her so would get nervous having to see her. I found a new doctor after she put me on the meds. The new doctor...

Re: New & just diagnosed w/apnea by medical supply clerk??
I just had to respond to you thoughts about not getting the call from a cancer doctor if they found cancer. I was diagnosed with cancer last year and it was in a phone call from a CNA at the doctors clinic who diagnosed me based off an ultrasound and no an actual biopsy done. The CNA could not answe...
