Re: opioids to relieve untreatable osa symptoms
Two words to learn: anxiety and depression. Don't treat the symptoms with opiods that i promise will be harder to justify and get. Treat the head problems causing the symptoms with the proper anti-depressant / anxiety meds.

Re: Question for people being monitored by insurance
After the patient starts CPAP treatment at home there has to be documentation of patient compliance. This is done after 31 days but before 90 days of usage. They must have a download of the CPAP usage and a face to face re-evaluation with their physician. Their physician must document that the patie...

Re: Resmed airsense 10 change cdma/2g to 4G?
Two popular terms — 3G and CDMA — are often used in tandem when referring to wireless Internet and data access. When used together, the phrase simply reads — and is voiced as — “3G CDMA.” The term 3G signifies a specific group of standards the third generation (thus, “3G”) of cellular phones must me...

Re: How Long Are Mask Cushions Expected To Last?
most insurance will give you a mask cushion a month. some people make them last much longer. it just depends how well you, your face and the cushion get along and how clean you keep them.

Re: Sleep meds
I take an ambien before every sleep study. It makes it easier to go to sleep and stay asleep. I take all of my day and night pills before the test. My doctor knows what i am taking and he's good with it. the subject hasn't come up with the tech.

Re: Returning A DME’s CPAP Machine: Proper Way To Do This?
WE ran into something similar with an o2 generator. I do not believe the dme can accept it from you without a doctors order telling them to pick it up because he is the one that ordered it The dme legally could not take back our o2 generator without the doctor requesting it to be picked which he did...

Re: I need help analyzing test results without cpap and with cpap.
Young has nothing to do with this other than you'll feel better for alot more years because it was caught alot earlier than most people. You have sleep apnea. That is not in question. If you accept the fact that you have it and realize that the cpap saves lives and will extend yours, you will have a...

Re: DME Foolishness/Greediness
This is Medicare Fraud. Medicare rules say that they are only permitted to provide what you NEED--they no longer replace on a fixed schedule, and they have to document need. You do not need the mask. I get that the DME doesn't want to have to do all that documentation for a couple of filters they a...

i lost my sense of smell about 10 years ago. i use them and smell nothing. my wife said baby wipes all have a smell of sorts but they are not perfume scented. when you think about it, nearly everything has some kind of scent or smell

Re: Repeated spo2 plunges with sleep onset....UK user
asking your doctor for a prescription for an o2 concentrator until this is resolved is certainly appropriate for the situation if it is dropping below 88 or 89 for 6 minutes total time over the night. not sure of the exact numbers,

Re: ResMed AirSense 10 Filter Change Frequency
depending on where you live it may make sense to change your cpap and central air/heat filters at the same time. when you think of one, change both.
