Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP
Up to you to decide what you are comfortable doing or not doing but at the very least...change it to apap and set minimum to maximum to see what the FLs show. Pugsy, Sorry been busy this week. I finally managed to get APAP turned on with both pressures at 12 so we can see Fl's. I'll probably try va...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP
Sonny Boy, Thanks that pretty much echoes the ones I had found on the internet.
The list my Dr. gave me says FFM cushions every 4 wks, max. of 8 weeks and hose every 3 months, max 6.

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP
Pugsy, I take the following daily:
Symbicort
Lisinopril
Simvistatin
low dose aspirin
I use a "Rescue Inhaler" as needed but I dont think it does anything so I rarely use it.

The Dr. does supply machines and cpap supplies from his office but he told me that it was against Medicare rules for Dr. to also be the DME so he gave me one near my home. When I told him what the DME's schedule for supplies was he sort of got mad and his com...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP
Pugsy, Thanks so much for the reply. After having read/lurking on the posts here I had sort of come to the conclusion that APAP might be of value. I really dont understand why the Dr. prescribed me an APAP machine if I just use CPAP on it? I hope I didnt mislead you, I am not sleeping all that great...
