e-bay

If you have had a sleep study, be sure to get a copy of the results, then you will know what you need in the way of a starting place for your therapy if you buy your own machine.

Take some Mucinex - that will bring up the bad stuff. The only pneumonia I got, I coughed just little shallow coughs, rather than the deep, from the toes kind.

If you divorce your DME and just pick up bargain supplies on e-bay, you will be able to lower your frustration level a bunch. I haven't had a DME call in 5 years - bliss.

It sounds kind of silly, but could you get the swimmers silicon putty and use it to make a dam inside your mask?
