I have heard that the full Plan F (there is a high deductible version that is somewhat cheaper, but I don't know what the deductible is) will be phased out in a few years. My high-deductible Plan F has a $2,200 annual deductible. That sounds really high, but to date I've never come even CLOSE to pa...

Sorry. I work with University students, many of who do not know the difference in the words.

Sometimes the view from a lofty perch is impeded by a stiff neck resulting from an even more elevated nose.

How bad is the CHF? Do you know your ejection rates? Was it 45 or below?Some docs won't dispense the ASV machines because of how bad a person might have CHF. There was a study some time back that scared everyone about what happened with ASV users who had ejection rates 45 or less. Are you aware of ...

Like chunkyfrog, I, too have a supplement (AKA Medigap) Plan F. I have yet, in the ten years I've had it, had to pay a single penny for any procedures or devices prescribed. As she stated, it is not cheap, but when compared to the co-pays for surgery, it has not only been an economic win, but it off...

University of Florida Gainesville is the host site of a study sponsored be the VA, University of Florida, and Philips Respironics. Though sponsored by PR, I see no implication they require no specific machine use in the study. If compliance is an issue, and one is a veteran living where Gainesville,...

...In other countries, where distilled water is not as easy to get, the cpap manuals say "Use water", not "use distilled water". AND another thing.

i could and did get up some nights up to five times!

And other nights, you couldn't get up the fifth time?

depends.

Blatant product placement - shouldn't it be capatalized, though?

It would be hard to sleep with all that stuff on me! Please ask yourself this first: "...if I take meds, which do I leave at home because they might be too much of a burden"? If you put too much effort in trying to remember what you can forget, you may someday forget something you should have remem...

Always turn it off - either manually or through smart start - otherwise your numbers are garbage. Somehow I think you would rather take the time to turn it off than spend the time trying to do the math needed to extract the effects of the huge leak while on the toilet.

They often devalue "chasing zero," in your case if catching it occasionally makes you feel the way you do its value is well restored. Enjoy the view from where you are - do not be discouraged if it is sometimes foggy, though. Relax and enjoy the comfort of a good night's sleep.

Both my primary and backup machines are AirSense 10 AutoSets - there is a slight difference in that my primary (the newer of the two machines) has two options for response: Standard and Soft, although I can't be certain of the differences, so I leave it on Standard. That brings up a question, though...

It's all a moot point in any case - the seller sold the unit for $439.00 at 10:43 today (8/16/2018). I feel certain the buyer will soon know the truth and respond appropriately.

A seller in Texas is listing a ResMed AirCurve 10 S (ref 37046) on eBay if anyone is interested. The listing states that the machine has zero hours and includes a sealed small Swift FX pillow, filters and accessories. The Buy It Now price is $449.99 plus $25 shipping. This machine was made in Austra...

Without knowing how wet the paper napkins will get, I would be very concerned that paper dust and residue would be transported into my lungs. That, I would think, could be problematic to say the least. In situations like this I would be inclined to seek out a DME with a nearby physical location and ...

The same with colonoscopies. They do not help. There is a study which shows patients who had colonoscopies performed die at the same rates from colon cancer as those who do not have it done. Colonoscopies are intended to treat nothing - they are mechanisms for evaluation. Just as a doctor may inser...
