As you figured she just hands them to me without any package inserts at all. Right now I am trying to find the better of the opus nasal pillows and the Respironics comfort gel nasal mask size small. I haven't gotten the leaks worked out on either one and I am supposed to decide on one or the other. ...

I did it

I have no option as to who I deal with at this place. It is very small and very new and there is only 1 tech who works there. I only hope that when she orders my new machine she orders for heat humidity. I can see her just going for the passover type to piss me off. I have made an enemy of this know...

I DID it !!!!!

As a new CPAP user of just one week. I finally gathered the guts to request from my DME the machine I wanted from the start. I wanted the Respironics M series with A/Flex. She shot me down the day I went in to "choose the machine I wanted. She insisted that I did not need all those features and why ...

Newbie with another question-bap

I am actually re-thinking a machine switch for now. My main problem is that no matter which mask I am using is not staying in place overnight. Like I said before my DME sent me home last week with one mask that I returned to her and then she gave me the Opus nasal and a Respironics comfort gel mask ...

This sleep lab does everything by computer. The doctor is never in person. He reviews the information from the sleep study and sends the prescription via internet.

Newbie needs help!!!

As a brand new CPAP user, I am unfamilier about a lot of things concerning treatment and things to expect. I have been browsing this board and a few others and this site is by far the better one. I just started with treatment and think I have many misconceptions. I was under the impression that brea...
