Re: Living abroad part-time

Your given timetable may be unreasonable. If so, I recommend you purchase a gently used version of the machine you intend to get. Secondwindcpap.com is mentioned in this forum often. That way, when you are local again, your now backup machine (everyone should have one) will not count against Medicar...

Re: Do I need to turn off EPR and go CPAP?

I do make yearly appointments with my doctor, but have only seen secondary providers
in his office for the last 10+ years.
I tell them what I am doing, and they note it on my chart.
It keeps Medicare happy (or not :lol: ) and my DME sells me only what I really need.

Re: Cpap

Did you dry it out before trying to use it again?
If it still works, you dodged a bullet, although a noisy one.

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

IMO, the intent of philips' exchange process was to trap patients
into years longer of dealing with their inferior machines.
The decent thing would have been to recall their damn junk, and giving out cash refunds!
The whole stinking nightmare is appalling!

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Whether or not there has been success depends on your definition of success.
Any outcome extending ones dependence on a mediocre company is not my idea of success.

Re: Best pillow for side sleeper

I route my hose UP, through a hose management apparatus. This allows me to use a regular pillow. We were given one of those fancy foam pillows with the cutouts, and we both found it completely useless. So glad we did not waste money on it. Even unused, the foam went to hell within a fairly short tim...

Others have either been fulfilled; or have given up in disgust.

Re: How can I lower AHI?

Just a simple test, you might try raising the minimum pressure from 4 cm. to around 12 cm. (By steps, for patient comfort) [[[The patient's provider failed to set the minimum ipap at all--lazy bozo, IMO.]]] I would leave the max EPAP where it is. Nice thing about APAP is the ability to titrate fairl...
