Re: AHI increase after valium withdrawal

Post cardiac bypass surgery in2013 I found myself unable to lie flat due to a phrenic nerve loss of my left lung. In essence I would panic if I tried to lie back. My internist of the time put me on Ativan, and with it I was able to sleep just fine, sitting up, or lying back.. So it had a great use i...

Also for reminding me I had twisted my conjunctives or something, with the Resmed/Respironics I think it would be less problematic if one of them gave up the Res part, Maybe swap it for Sleep. Yeah SleepMed sounds...

Re: Question for those who own their CPAP equipment

My first machine a lot of years ago was with a DME, and my insurance company was so happy about it. DME charged Insurance almost 3 thousand bux. I had to pay in monthly the entire 12 months to a tune of $1473.28. It wasn't until later that I found the same exact machine online brand new in the box f...
