Let me try that. I actually raised humidity(normally 70%) thinking the air in the house too dry. My hydrometer typically falls between 65 and 56%.

I had a cold in January that lasted 3 weeks. I just started feeling well again when I developed a headache and nasal congestion that won’t go away. I had two courses of antibiotics for the first and second cold but still I have a stuffed up drippy nose with some fresh blood. I tried saline spray, in...

My periodontist make a mouth guard retainer to prevent me grinding my teeth. This solved my mouth breathing which the head strap full face mask and taping didn’t. I had insurance so not sure how much I actually paid but was going to check with my regular dentist on his out of pocket cost. My retaine...

So, do you think MyAir is accurate regarding length of sleep?

Same question.

Why is there a huge difference in the amount of time between my Fitbit and MyAir?
Like two hours more on my machine. I don’t run my machine unless I’m planning to sleep (don’t use it to watch tv, etc).

Why would there be such a discrepancy?

Wrong machine. It’s an AirSense 10.

There is always a huge difference between hours slept between the MyAir software and my Fitbit. The MyAir always shows more time—like hours more than the Fitbit which seems more accurate. I don’t wear my mask if I’m not sleeping so I don’t understand why there is always a difference. Any ideas?

I’d go for the new machine sooner rather than later. Take the new one with you for the first month. I have three machines. Always great to have newer backup or alternative.

Thanks Neicy. I am sort of between a rock and a hard place. Came to Florida for the winter, cancelled my follow up with my respiratory doc because it didn’t seem it would do me any good without a new sleep study. Not sure the docs admin much less DME knew what they were talking about re the Medicare...

Thanks Okie. That document seems a bit more clearer.

I guess I need to wait till I can see my original respiratory doc this spring. The DME and the Doc’s nurse haven’t been very helpful on what Medicare needed from the doc. Thankfully I have backup mach8nes and supplies to last me till then.

I received a letter from my DME. Although I won’t be back to MA till the spring, the list of Medicare requirements that they listed the one I am concerned with is this: “Medicare also requires a qualifying baseline sleep study, including signed interp.” I don’t remember when I had last study. If the...

Thanks Pugsy!

Been on CPAP for many years. I retired this summer. In order to have Medicare pay for my supplies etc, do I need to start from scratch with another sleep study, doctor visit (not sure when I had my last study done)?

My Airsense 10 tipped over in the beginning of the night. I picked it up and cleaned out hose. Then in the early morning I noticed an error msg saying that the power wasn’t connected. Since then I cleaned it up, plugged it into another wall outlet and had it running but the msg came back. Now it’s n...

Bi-Level is the Resmed name for this? My husband uses a bi-level (bi-pap) machine.
