Re: Need advice on how to make a complaint to Medicare about DME

Has anyone made a complaint to Medicare about their DME? How did it go? My DME, (which I liked), did not win the competitive bid for cpap supplies which went into effect last July 1. I went on this forum and the internet and picked out a new one. Right from the getgo I was not very happy. They seem...

Re: OT: Juicing, blood sugar and losing weight

I am pretty sure Juice will spike your blood sugar more than is good for you. It does me. Search out low glycemic foods as best you can.

Re: Potty Breaks: How Badly Are Stats Affected?

Do exactly as I tell you, period. When you feel the need to urinate and you are lying in bed with your mask on. Take the mask off and simultaneously reach out and turn off your machine. Go to bathroom. Come back, put on mask and take a few deep breaths and exhalations to start the machine or if it i...

Re: OT: Elderly home nurse refuses to perform CPR, woman dies

A very few people on here deserve praise for not jumping to judgementally condemn the nurse or whatever she was who called 911. The rest of you people should be somewhat ashamed of yourselves, but, I don't think you will be.

CPAPER'S CHECK YOUR BITE!

I think in my own case my upper teeth have receded, so to speak, and now my teeth meet evenly instead of my upper teeth being slightly forward. Crude way of putting it all I am sure.
