Re: If CPAP won't work for you at all...
I'm no expert like some of the people here so this is just fwiw, but I was wondering if maybe you need a 2 pronged attack in dealing with the congestion and also the sleep apnea? Have you seen an ENT and/or allergist? Do you have allergies that cause the congestion that could be treated? I wouldn't ...

Re: Airsense 11 humidifier not heating
if you decide on repair, try these guys- https://acbio.com/ but I see you don't have a backup, so that would be at least a week without it. I'd go with the machine that granny recommended. good luck! Thanks, Zonker! I think I just lucked out. They just sent out a notice of Prime Days sale at cpap.c...

Re: Airsense 11 humidifier not heating
Thanks, Chicago Granny. That helps so much, I'm going to go with the 10.
I am going through the nasal gel in a hurry! I was thinking it was just the dry weather of fall and I totally missed the cpap problem.

Airsense 11 humidifier not heating
Hello guys, I would appreciate any tips or advice you can give me. My Airsense 11 for Her, purchased 3 years ago, is no longer heating the humidifier. For the last couple weeks I've been having very dry nose and sinuses, and continual nosebleeds. Then yesterday I realized that the water level in the...

Re: New Article: New concerns
Just saw a new report about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkLgSKczeVM Investigators seem to be claiming that it is sources within the company who are expressing concern over testing results of the new silicone material in the replacement machines, that it is emitting formaldehyde and other ch...

Re: Why Your DME Requires an Annual Prescription
Yes, that was from the insurance company. It's about time to choose the plan for this year, I'm going to see if there's a better one available.ChicagoGranny wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 5:23 pmThat's strange. Did you get this information directly from the insurance company? Or the doctor's office? Or a lying DME?

Re: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and RSV Vaccine
I'm planning to get it. I'm going to wait another week or so because this last covid booster really kicked my butt.

APAP here. I have to keep the initial pressure low to keep the aerophagia down.

Re: Why Your DME Requires an Annual Prescription
My state requires a yearly prescription. Fortunately, my PCP is willing to write it because she knows how important it is to my health. Unfortunately, my Medicare advantage plan said that wasn't good enough, they insisted I need a new sleep study before they will cover anything cpap related. I am no...

Re: first night with Bleep
I found it useful to keep a magnifying mirror at my bed so I could connect and disconnect those things. In the end, I couldn't get it comfortable enough I think because of the way my nose/nares are shaped but it sure is a nice way to go if it can work for you!

Re: Pro Publica webinar about Phillips recall
Their core profit doubled at the same time they are going through this massive recall? That is wild.

Re: Rookie mistake, tossed my other masks
Sorry, hit submit too soon. I have tended to do the opposite, hanging on to every mask and part over the years. I finally threw out 14 years worth of masks and parts this year. I found that my initial impressions were pretty spot-on and I never ended up using the masks that didn't work again. (I did...

Re: Rookie mistake, tossed my other masks
It can be pretty tough to use the cpap when you are congested with a cold.

I signed up for this webinar today but didn't end up being able to get home in time for it. Did anyone else catch it? Any good information?

Re: Mask/Tubing storage during the day
I just put a coat hook on the wall next to my headboard, I hang the tube with the mask attached over that.
