Second Time Around.....

Post by beachchik » Sat Jul 28, 2018 8:53 am

So, here's my long story short - ten years ago, I got diagnosed with moderate OSA. I did the CPAP route for four years, trying so many different masks but never getting that glorious sleep. I then went to the ResMed oral device, which seemed to work better. Used that for five years until it broke. Thought I could just get a new one but of course, insurance doesn't work that way. I've been without for 6 months now, had a home sleep study done, shows what I figured it would, and am getting CPAP equipment again soon. Since I have moved to a new state recently, I have a new dr. He says that there has been much progress made with CPAPs and masks in the past several years. Here's what I need from all you experts (I mean that sincerely!). Since I've been out of this for several years now, what products do you recommend, what should I stay away from? Thanks in advance.....

I would go to Cpap.com and look at all machines & masks because they have (real, not paid) reviews, pix, graphs, % of which are popular, etc... and then come back to this thread with Q's.

Two of the most recommended items are ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet machine ( https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... idair.html ) and Dreamwear Full Face Mask ( https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respir ... dgear.html ).
