Just read the options and voted none of the above. They all sound scary or gross!

All three "choices" are, in reality, ALTERNATIVES TO TREATMENT.
Why is this ancient (and USELESS) poll remains open is beyond my comprehension.

My treatment selection is None of the Above
I have had CPAP/BiLevel for many years now and after fighting through the initial mask problems, I am quite content with my treatment. And my own annual cost for supplies is minimal. I do not go through the routine of replacing mask, hose,humidifier tank, etc. at the rate my DME provider would like me to follow.
