Hi Mikesus,

Thanks for the link. Looking at these products should give many people confidence that future treatment is going to just get better and better. Right now I've just purchased the Resp Auto/Cflex which will no doubt serve me well for the anticipated 5 year period I'm guaranteed for.

But just think what the future will bring in 5 years time! I don't have big bucks like the RG's of the world so cannot get a new one every year but I sure will be itching to do so!

The only thing that really bugs me about this is that my own, and am sure many other sleep specialist doctors, refuse to acknowledge our treatment methods are evolving. They seem to be sticking with what they know and do not recognize patient comfort and interest.

Thanks Mikesus!

It always helps to stay on top of things. Especially in OSA. There are so many new studies, masks and machines.

Hahahaha, unclebob!

I don't have big bucks like the RG's of the world so cannot get a new one every year

Yeah, it really is stupid of me not to be spending any of those "big bucks" on getting medical insurance, isn't it? ROTFL!! Oh, wait...that is what I'm doing in a way - trying various machines/masks as "insurance" to best treat the one health problem I've ever had in my life...so far. (Knock on plastic!)

Everyone will know when I have "big bucks". You'll know it, 'cause I'll start posting my woes dealing with DMEs and insurance companies! Until I reach Medicare age in five more years, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. In the meantime I keep an eye out for good deals on trying different cpap stuff to be sure I'm getting the most effective treatment possible. Gotta do that, since I don't have a doctor, either.

But hey, if I win the lottery, insurance will be a snap. After all, I don't even have a pre-existing condition. I got these machines to...ummm...just....uhhh...stop snoring, ya know.

no mention of a htd humidifer ?

You'd think this would be a must to incorporate with the machine?

Hey rested gal, with all that extra money maybe you could send uncleboob a clue

[rested gal]

Hey, I love unclebob!! He writes the bestest stories!

Any extra money I have from now on is going for cat food. Noooo, I'm not reduced to eating that. Yet. But maybe after one or two more masks.

unclebob, I sympathise with your predicament, but I do wonder if it's quite as simple as that. Like all professions, I'm sure there are those who go into cruise control or get into a comfort zone and so become less effective, but equally there seem to be good stories out there about docs who do try to keep abreast with developments in their field. Call me naiiive, but I really can't imagine more than a tiny minority of docs would lose all interest in the patient.

The key question is how to spread the knowledge more widely. I don't have the answer but I do wonder whether we, as patients, could play a more active role, whether with our own individual doc, or some other way.

Sorry, this is more of a muse to during my lunchbreak than a specific contribution to this thread, so I'll get back to my sandwich now

Hmm... Looks a lot like this cpap I got at BargainsRus.com!

[unclebob]

OK - from the bottom up for these last three posts.

HappyHoser - where the hell did you get that picture of me with my sunglasses on. Probably from a missed slide from my projector I sold on Ebay that you appear to have been using as a CPAP unit. I knew I should have asked for more $.

littlebaddow - You are right and I do appreciate your thoughtful response. I am still quite upset with my sleep Doc who pretty much dismissed my efforts (and big bucks RG) that I have put into my treatment. Have just wanted to understand it better and do what's best for me. Perhaps that Doc is the bad apple because I have had to deal with many doctors in the recent past and have been most thankful and impressed with the way I have been treated. I'll try to get over it and move on. Come to think of it moving on is what my sleep Doc suggested.

rested gal - that settles it - no more lottery tickets for you! We like you just the way you are. Hope I didn't offend and glad you like my stories. Best of all, I and everyone on this forum are so pleased that you are in good health except for the Apnea of course. Don't want to be selfish or anything but your illness has made us all a little better with the discoveries you made. Whatever you do don't catch a common cold or we may never hear from you again! Thanks!

This is the second post that I have had the pleasure of reading regarding some new machines being produced from German Companies. These German manufacturers seem to be offering some great machines that offer the user a lot more features and convenience for cpap treatment, not to mention great looks!
