Re: If I purchase a new machine will I still need my doctor (ENT) to set it up?

I am encouraged. The debate on this forum is returning to the entertainment level achieved during the days of vicious name calling by Pale Rider and his gang piling on D.H.

I don't use CPAP for long flights. Survived many international flights.

Re: cpaptalk.com Decline

Excellent comment and suggestion. I have nothing significant to add. My OSA is under control and not knowledgeable enough to help others. Bless you and have a good weekend.

Where is Pale Rider? I enjoyed his comments. Helpful and sometimes snarky.

I am sorry about your difficult situation. Try a direct approach. Compliance = rewards. Non-compliance = withholding privileges.

Unless your cat is paying you room and board, evict it and buy a Goldfish for a pet.

Due to cost saving measures, Philips' refurb line is offshore--waaaay offshore.
