Re: There's a sucker born every minute... A somewhat OT venting
Is there anyone out there selling this equipment that isn't a con artist? The DME at my sleep center tried to sell me my BiPAP for $7000. I bought it elsewhere for $1600. I don't trust anything the sleep center tells me now.

What worked for me was increasing the humidity level to max and giving a squirt of saline nasal spray before I put the mask on.
