Perhaps anecdotal, but is giving me hope! Perhaps the two sinus infections I've had since beginning CPAP (just started this about 4 mos. ago) were flukes. I'm going to remain hopeful that I'll have reduced sinus infection occurences on cpap.

Hmmm,is this a case where the subset assumes the qualities of the superset?

All DME's are idiots
Your DME is a DME
Therefor your DME is an idiot . QED;)
Heh, heh...... Maybe. (but I did use the word "your")

However, we've had a number of VERY GOOD DMEs and RTs frequent the forum......so, we KNOW there are some out there.

On the other hand, if you spend enough time on these forums, you get a very grim picture of that industry. I'd like to think that there are more good ones than bad ones, but I think the majority of folks who search out these forums and support groups, do so BECAUSE they've had dealings with the "bad" ones.

Not a chance! I need (and want) all the air I can get.

Although, I think it might happen right around the time of "the proverbial frost".
