Re: SEVERE DRY EYES

Hello, I have been having a lot of problems with dry eyes lately. I have a couple of questions - do the Manta and Eyeseals block out light completely and are they comfortable for a side sleeper? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving! The Eyeseals are available in both clear and opaque (colored) versions...

Re: Bleep hose management advice

I use the “Cozyhose boss” when I travel. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pursleep-cozyhoze-boss-hose-management-system (But I actually adapted to the Bleep without hose management, just sit it on my chest and it somehow works) I use the CozyHose Boss at home, along with a hose management system th...

Re: OT... YouTube 'Medicare School'

I have found the Advantage plans are ok until you get sick. That's when you have to go t6o the hospitals that take the plan, deal with referrals, etc.... I've heard that. Fortunately for us, the three area hospitals and their clinics are in-network as are my other doctors. Gramps had a specialty pr...

Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

Looks like Aeroflow has these in stock now. I got my first shipment yesterday and tried them last night. They were definitely louder on the inhale, but that could just be a positioning issue that will get better as I fine-tune how they go on. There is a learning curve to getting them on. You can gr...

Re: Choosing a mask

Beware of Advantage plans. Less choice of where to go, and you may pay forever on a simple cpap machine. You just need to check carefully. My husband went on a Medicare Advantage plan in March (first timer) and was approved for his CPAP within weeks. Picked it up the beginning of April. Only waited...

Re: How often do you replace your humidifier chamber?

I am another who only replaces when necessary (broken, leaking, etc.), but does always have a spare, in case of failure on a Friday night before a long weekend :lol: ! I used the same heated hose and humidifier chamber on my Airsense 10 Autoset for Her for 5 years, until I got my Airsense 11 Autoset...

Re: Airsense 11 humdifier fix?

I close the humidifier and fill it through the round silicone gasket. Problem solved! I've done that since I got my Airsense 11 last December, never once filled the humidifier open and never had any spillage.

Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

Hey all, I am a newbie to this website, (which I am thankful I have found), and I am currently waiting for my new shipment of Eclipse mask and Halos from Aeroflow. After reading some of the comments, I am afraid I will also have issues with my smaller nose and nostrils. I currently use the ResMed A...

Re: CPAP during COVID infection

I'm a bit late to the party, but when I had Covid last August (we are vaxed and were double boosted), I was unable to use my CPAP for several nights, as I coughed incessantly with each breath I took. Hubby just had cold symptoms and was able to use his machine. I was very ill, my o2 sats dropped, ra...

Re: Which Bleep is preferred by most people?

I prefer the Eclipse. I started using the DreamPorts as soon as it came out, it was the first CPAP mask I was able to use for more than 2-3 weeks. I actually went through about 15-18 masks my first 14 months on CPAP :shock: , mostly out of pocket! The DreamPorts worked well for me and as several oth...

Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

Much to my surprise, another 3 month supply showed up Monday! Is there a manufactured date or lot number? Just curious if this is part of the new batch where the ring seperation is fixed. I got a 3-month supply of halos from Aeroflow back in January, but returned to dreamports when those were used ...

Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

I got an order the end of December and one mid-March. I've been waiting for another shipment since mid-May. I need to follow-up, they said it to expect it the beginning of June. From Aeroflow? The new Bleeps with the magnets? Yes, I got the new Eclipse Halos, with magnets in Dec and March. I did fo...
