I was wondering if anyone had a large hybrid mask they would let me try. My DME's RT seems to think that a hybrid is not for me and won't let me try it. I need a new mask as my UMFF is driving me crazy. I have to pay out of pocket as insurance doesn't cover XPAP equipment right now and money is tigh...

In this area, Lincare is the only DME supplier. However they are still on the ball. My supply orders are right and the people in the office are friendly and helpful as well. I don't like the RT there though as I know more about XPAP (and that is very limited) than she does.

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that is nothing but trouble (XP SP2) for work. It is only 1 year old. At home, I have a Gateway that is 5 years old and is more powerful and trouble free. As far as customer service goes, I prefer to talk to Gateway as Dell's is way too long to talk to someone. When you...

I don't know, I never have gotten a bill. And it has been almost a year since the first night study and 3 months since the titration. I know that they billed the insurance but I haven't seen anything as far as a breakdown.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I am seriously looking at the Comfortfull 2 mask. I like my Ultra Mirage but the leaks are driving me nuts. I start out the night fine but after 5 hours it starts with leaks and only gets worse. I've tried silicon putty, extra straps, repositioning the headgear, et...

FF masks and higher pressures

I have been doing a lot of reading on this site and have to pose a question to those with higher pressures. I need to replace my UMFF mask and am looking at either a HR 7600 VIP, a Comfortfull 2, or a Hybrid. The problem I have is that my pressure is 16 and a nasal mask is out of the question due to...

After reading your post, It reminded me of an emergency that led to an eventual trip to the sleep center. I was admitted to the hospital with severe pneumonia last Christmas (actually Christmas night). While I was in there, the person in the bed on the other side of the room was complaining to the s...
