That is when I get the "Oh your numbers look good, no need to change things" No they're not mind readers are obviously paper or sd card readers either. They are the ones who set my pressure at 7 per the sleep study and if they bothered to look they'd see that with the apap set 8/14 the pressure goes immediately up to the 12 range.
As for the insurance co. the only thing they have paid for in the last year and a half is what they pay for an office visit after my co-pay.. Don't really see the need in going to DME to get supplies when my deductible is much more than I'll spend just buying my supplies from our Host.

I know if it weren't for the help of knowledgeable people here I'd have thrown my hands up a long time ago and then threw that xpap in the closet

Sorry SewTired don't mean to come off rude or harsh, but it really gets me that the people who are getting paid have helped very little and then the selfless people here who aren't making a nickle have helped tremendously!!
