Does your site list some sleep forums (like this one), where people can go to post questions and get answers?

If you really want to help others, give them all the options ---- including forums.
Not yet. I'm kinda torn between deciding starting a forum on my own site, or just linking to this one. Probably I'll end up doing both. But the site is definitely a work in progress. I just officially launched it on 1-1-07. It'll get better. Thanks for the positive words, Linda.

in one breath we hear that a DME can't possibly change pressure without a prescription, then we hear that it is common practice to change it a bit to stop mouth leakage???????

Something here doesn't add up.

lol!!

The fella clearly stated this was the Sleep Tech doing this.

Look, I don't know why you are so darn intent on picking a fight with me. If you really are that full of anger or whatever that you can't imagine me just being a decent guy looking to help people out I don't know what to tell you.

If it'll make you feel better please feel free to come down to Florida and punch me in the eye or kick me in the shin or something but let's try and move past this eh?

And garyb man you rock on and make that website and do it exactly the way you want to do it. Have a blast with it. It's shaping up nicely. If there's anything I can do to help you out with it just let me know.

exactly what I was asking.

How can a SLEEP TECH change pressures without a new prescription?

Not sure what you are looking for here, so I'll try the obvious.
Because it's thier job?

I mean come on, they don't go run out of the room and get a new prescription from a doc when they adjust our pressures.

Thier job is to adjust our pressures for optimal treatment and then forward thier findings to a doctor for evaluation.

Is there something else you are looking for in the way of an answer?
