I do not know if you allow WTB. I understand if you need to pull this
There is a friend of mine that is not financially able to purchased a CPAP. He has had a sleep study several years ago and the doctor told him he could benefit from the use of CPAP it was up to him. He told me his score was in the 30's. I am having is wife see if she can get the sleep study. I know how to change the settings on ResMed 7 and any Respironics machines. I might need help on a ResMed 6 or other machines....If anyone has any masks they want to sale let me know also. This friend sleep apnea is not getting any better to me it is worst. He has fallen asleep while driving and totaled his car. With his high blood pressure he really needs to be on CPAP...Just email me what you have and price..
thanks

I don't mean to be harsh but, it's not like he has to come up with that much money to buy a CPAP. He should go around insurance.

For $300 and couch cushion change he can get a 420G https://www.cpap.com/productpage/139

As for the mask, thats harder. Perhaps someone on this board has a "drawer" mask or two they can donate?

I wish you and your friend the best! Sorry to meet on bad terms, and welcome to our community, I see you've posted lately on the Aura.
