That sounds like progress. You will be able to try different masks, hopefully find one that you like and that fits, and be shown how to use everything - all in person! Just make sure you get a good data-capable machine and not a brick.

When they call you back after the insurance, ask them, specifically, which machine they have for you.

Just got a call from the healthcare. They said they have the BiPap machine but said they need a copy of the diagnosis test. The problem is that the tech and manager said those were deleted.... I'll call them back and see what's the deal.

Edit: Just called healthcare. They are in need of my diagnostic test. They only have the Titration. IN order for them to give me a Bi Pap they have to get the diagnostic test. They will call the lab. They said the lab is legally required to have anything in the last 7 years. However, the manager was firm that it was deleted when i asked him for it. The tech also said that. Now the healthcare will deal with them. I await a call back.

Well at times the wheels grind slowly, but it is beginning to look like you have the right parties talking to each other.

It took you a little while to get things flowing, but good job outta you!!!

They say I may have to do the titration over. But I won't be able to sleep unless I am able to get an Ambien again.

Isn't it nice that you have an auto machine already. Now you can do your titration at home. No ambien needed.

Kaisgram is well respected but you are being vilified because you constantly cause trouble and try to run people off of here. You do that wherever you post! I get that you were bullied as a child/adult. Why not stop the cycle of abuse then? You are the worst offender here! You started me on this cycle of being mean!

I have personally had trouble with pale ride in the past, and I used to consider him pretty irritating for how he responds to newbies. But recently, I have seen several people far worse than him.
It's sad but i'm a fast learner and he is a great teacher isn't he? I know that sounds horrible but it's the truth! Look at my posts from when I first joined..
Yes, yes, your actions aren't YOUR responsibility, they're PRs. You were all sweet and innocent before HE entered the picture...oh, wait...after you posting that pic of your hand...you remember the one...with the FU tat on your finger? I fail to see how he brought out anything that you didn't have inside. So, put on your big girl panties, and take responsibility for the fact that you have also been an ass, and it's not all someone else's fault. Big deal.

An exciting part of life is that we frequently are presented with choices.

You now have a couple of choices.

1. You can figure out how to deal with the leaks and sleep with a mask on your face in the comfort of your own bed.

or

2. You can suffer all the anxiety and drama of subjecting yourself to another sleep test with strangers trying to deal with your leaks and poking and prodding you throughout the night.




Once again you have some interesting choices... Good luck.

I don't know how to fix the leaks. I don't the mask fits.

But I am choosing to ask for Ambien. Because I need it for the Diagnostic test.
