new machine

Post by auntiebeccaneedssleep » Fri Apr 29, 2005 1:13 am

OK, I know there have been many discussions about types of cpap machines, but I can't find what I am looking for in the search. I need to get a cpap machine. The one I have is rented and I need to turn it in. It would cost $700 with my insurance. ( Respironics Remstar plus C-flex)
My doctor is talking to the sleep tech about whether I can switch to an autopap or not. Problem is I can't afford much as I am getting ready to move. Should I make payments on the machine I have? I was looking on cpap.com and found Goodnight c/20 G cpap for only $298. Is this a good one? I really would like to get one that gives me info about my sleep habits. Mine doesn't give anything except how many hours are used. I hear everyone talking about how many apneas they have and I would love to see that info about me! HELP!

I would go for the auto. Around $790 on cpap.com with bag, hose and manuals and heated humidifier. Another $199 for the software and card reader. It's worthi it - I just did it myself about 2 weeks ago, and I have been able to trend what works and doesn't work for me. Jen
