New-several ? Re frequent travel machine...

SpyFlysDOTs wrote:Hi,

I'm a frequent traveler for a living.

Been on Apap thearpy for close to three years now, still dislike but put up with it.

Some general info.
Always have had sleep issues, attributed them to allergies, but had two sleep studies and prescribed an 8 for my Cpap level.

Started off with an Apap machine, as suggested by my sleep company.
It's a Res med with humidity (Battleship type, not so great for travel.)
Purchased a smaller machine for travel, but it's a straight cpap with no humidity.
Lately have been lugging the battleship.

Nasal pillows don't work, due to mouth breathing frequently even with a chin strap.

Love the humidity.

Hate the size and weight of my current machine.
Super dislike my sleep company, who has ONE guy who seems to deal with the Cpap and masks, zero personality.
Everything takes an appointment, nothing can be done by stopping by when in the area unless advanced notice
Looking for a new sleep company to transfer my services to, one with personality and large enough to handle my needs with even 10% personality.

Have been given these four names, as supply companies that take United health care PPO.

Apria
Liucane
total
Premier

I live just South of Downtown Chicago and work out at O'hare

Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
