Hi all, I am about 3 months into my CPAP journey, and really, it couldn't be going better. I've had little to no trouble getting used to the machine, and my AHI has consistently been under 0.8. Toward the beginning, I had posted asking opinions about trying a different mask even though my first mask...

Can somebody please point me to the SH glossary? I followed the link that is in Pugsy's pointers, but that only gives me the option of installing the software, which I've already done. I check my data everyday and understand some of it, but wanted to read up on the stuff that I don't understand. Th...

Will anyone provide advice to the original poster that has zero to do with the excellent software.

Questions about installing and using the software need a new thread.

Sorry about that--I have started a new thread.

Can somebody point me towards the SH glossary? I've followed the link from the post on the announcement page, but still cannot find it. I spent quite a bit of time looking for it today, but the link that is supposed to go the glossary takes me to the download for SH, which is not what I am looking f...

My husband is on Linsonpril and coughs a lot, too. He sees his doc tomorrow--I'm going to have him mention it.

I totally understand wanting to decorate the CPAP. I think it's a way to give the machine a little personality. That was part of the reason I chose the pink machine rather than the silver one--I had considered decorating it with vinyl clings myself. If decorating it or putting a cover on it will hel...

ok, no judgement, but I think id like to decorate my machine with a vinyl cover I had no clue such thing existed until today when i searched for ways to cover (decorate, not hide) the ugly beast. I know its not suppose to be CUTE but i like the idea to put a skin on it, makes it less intimadating f...

He won't be dealing with Apria anymore since our DME is through our medical provider. That sounds like the "conveyor belt" and Money Mill setup mentioned earlier. Maybe, but as I mentioned before, I was very happy with my experience when I got my machine and mask. The RT took a lot of time to make ...

In fact, he is still using his original machine--talk about a brick!!! How can a DME be bad if you just accept the inferior equipment they want to give you? It is when you ask for better equipment that the problems develop. Another note on "conveyor belt" treatment - this is a clue that you have be...

I have to say, I was really surprised to read all of the bad experiences with Apria. My husband has used Apria for years, and we've never had a problem. Then again, although he uses his machine religiously, he hasn't been back to the sleep doc since he was diagnosed back in 2002. In fact, he is stil...

How's your insurance work in terms of replacement masks? I have to double check, but I'm pretty sure that I can get a new mask every 3 months. My DME has a 30 day exchange period, so if I get something that I absolutely hate, I can exchange it. The nice thing is, my DME is actually through my healt...

I wish, for my friend, that there was a way she could communicate her concerns to her husband's doctor, but I don't know if this is possible with HIPPA. She can go with him to his dr. appt to mention her concern. She could also have him appoint her his Healthcare Representative which is a great thi...

I think there are problems on both sides. I think that a lot of GP's aren't great at screening for OSA. I had told two doctors previously about being tired all of the time and my lack of libido. They both suggested exercise and weight loss as a resolution. It wasn't until I made another appointment ...
