Re: Possible reasons from chest pain from CPAP?
Chest pain can be a whole host of things from Atrial Fib to Indigestion to a Heart Attack. First, most urgent care centers won't be able to do anything for you cardiac wise. I highly recommend going to the ER. Check your symptoms yourself. Shortness of breath, radiating pain down the right arm, seve...

Re: ResMed Sues 3B; Faces Medicare/Medicaid Changes
If you can't beat them, sue them into bankruptcy.
I wonder if they continue to decline, that maybe we will see more competitive pricing again and the demise of MAP?

Re: transport-sleep-apnea-scam
I think until a standard is made, most trucking companies are going to come up with CYA programs to address sleep apnea. There are some concerns from the standpoint of 1) Determination or how to determine who to screen. The method of measuring one's neck is about as stupid as you can get. So they no...

Re: My Zeo site is gone.
You would have thought that they would have posted a "This site will be shutting down on" warning beforehand.
But if you did your homework, you knew it was coming anyways.

Re: transport-sleep-apnea-scam
There are a few things that the article didn't mention that might shed light on the whole situation. 1) What was the standard that the company used for requiring the sleep study? Looks to me like they're trying to reduce truck caused accidents, of which a great many appear to be due to fatigue. 2) ...

Re: medical-company-declines-to-answer
Instead of calling the heads of the companies in, why not close the loopholes. (I know, it is too logical for Congress to figure out). Almost anyone on Medicare can qualify for a power scooter. Why do you think that they can make the offer of "If Medicare declines your coverage, we will give you the...

Re: v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility
If any mods are required, it is to make the silly displays more easy to use, fuck this pushing of multiple obscure little buttons to get to a tiny menu, with tiny up/down arrows. Unfortunately your idea is falling on deaf ears. The OP hasn't addressed a single issue regarding his ideas let alone in...

Re: LazyBoy Chair Disguise for Wheelchair!
Here's an idea you might consider, and more in keeping with your success with the wheelchair enhancement project above: Instead of hiding a CPAP inside a gymbag, why not design a heavy cloth slipcover to drape completely over a wheelchair and make it look like an upholstered LazyBoy chair! Extra pa...

Re: v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility
Anyway, it looks l need to go back and reread the initial post to see what I have missed. I just zeroed in the accessibility issue because in my opinion, it needs to be addressed. 49er Most of what the OP suggests has nothing to do with accessibility but rather comfort, stylization, and integration...

Re: v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility
a few pit bulls have no sense of what disability may mean, resent the Americans with Disabilities Act and simply enjoy a nay-sayer modality. No you have never read any of the comments nor have you even delved in further to find out why some ideas are not workable. Like I said in a previous post, I ...

Re: v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility
Fair points Allen but in my opinion, asking manufacturers to change their design if it would improve accessibility is not an unreasonable request depending on what is being asked. It isn't always about making a product to fit a current design as perhaps a simple modification in the the mask would m...

Re: v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility
Perhaps I am missing something but I am surprised people would think a redesign to broaden accessibility would be stupid since there is a significant amount of people (forget the exact percentage) will have disabilities to deal with when they get older. Actually, since I assume that many people wit...
