Re: Loosing hair

I have long wavy hair and had the same problem I bought a silk turban from Amazon to sleep in and my hair looks better than ever.
Good Luck!

Re: Cpap Hair

I've ordered silk bonnets for sleeping from Amazon. It solved the strap mark problem and keeps my hair looking it's best, no breakage from straps or moving around.

Re: Eligible for a New Machine-My Dilemma

My 10 was doing just fine but I kept getting prompt that the motor surpassed its recommended life so I got an 11. I wouldn't bother if I were in your shoes. The 11 has a different climateline hose, filters, and humidifier chamber. The humidifier often runs out of water and is harder to fill to the m...

Re: SEVERE DRY EYES

I have the same problem, especially in the summer when I take antihistamines. My simple hack is to wear a sleep mask over my eyes. That prevents the air blow issues in my eyes and has the added benefit of the early sunrise not waking me up.

Re: Shortage of large Airfit P10 pillows at Aerocare/AdaptHealth

My husband tried to order large P10 pillows from Apria last week and was told they are currently out of that size as well.

Re: Covid and Cpap

Thanks for the responses. I'm aware of the recall and am still awaiting a replacement machine. I've been using a ResMed autoset 10 for her so the foam isn't causing the cough. I need to change my profile. I found the elevated bed pillows and cough suppressant worked for about 30 minutes. The CPAP is...

Covid and Cpap

I got symptoms of covid (fatigue, fever, stuffiness, sore throat) on 8/1, tested positive on 8/4 and negative a week later. Then I developed a wicked cough that seems to worsen with CPAP around 8/15. I've been taking the mask off after a few hours as the forced air now irritates my nose, throat and ...

You're responses are so helpful :)
I called Nationwide Medical and they are an approved DME with Cigna/Care Centrix.

Re: DME that carries Bleep

Thank you Pugsy.
I spoke with Care Centrix today and the agent actually called 5 approved DME's for me and none currently do or would carry Bleep at this time. I will just pay for it out of pocket for now to give it a try. The lack of headgear is too appealing.

DME that carries Bleep

I'd like to try the Bleep mask. Does anyone know a DME in the NY are that carries it? We currently have Cigna (Care Centrix) and will be switching to Medicare in June. Also, I have rocasea and very sensitive skin. Any thoughts on whether the adhesive will be irritating?
