Re: After the "CHOLESTEROL FOBIA" comes "APNEA PHOBIA"

I am interested in buying laetrile for cancer treatment. Surely those who say apnea is not bad know where to get laetrile.

Re: Air still escapes out of my mouth, even with tape!

Ever since my wife sewed my mouth breathing has stopped. there is the added benefit that I no longer argue or mouth off. I am tired of being fed by tube through my ear but that seems to be the only downside. On another subject how do I put my machine and nose piece on the bottom of my posts like eve...

Re: Which machine to get?

In Columbus there are CPAP stores in at least 2 shopping centers. They look like apple stores and have many CPAPS and accessories on display. They do not take insurance or medicare. The people work in them are generally very knowledgeable. Take your sleep study into the store they will help you by s...

Re: OT: What did you name your CPAP? :>)

First night conspiracy

Well, finally I got my CPAP. A fisher and paykal automatic icon. When i was considering whether to use a CPAP the doctor told me that if I used a CPAP my afib, high blood pressure, cholesterol,hang nails, thinning hair, adult pimples, and even bad hair days would disappear. He finally convinced me t...

Re: Furious with Sleep Clinic

To the Canadians: To the poster who informed nothing good would happen. You are right but if you create enough trouble they will inform the next patient who faces a long delay about that delay and that person can make a truly informed decision about where to go for a sleep study. I think Canada has ...

Re: Furious with Sleep Clinic

As an attorney I advise people to carefully decide how angry they are. If you are truly irate and desire revenge then you do the following: write a very nice letter describing your problem Send it to the following people with a copy of each letter to the clinic even though the letters re identical. ...

Re: first sleep study - complete waste of time? - Yup!

You must, absolutely, with no excuses, demand that on any tests done on you that the raw data be transmitted to you at the same time it goes to any other person including any Doctor. Under no circumstances should you compromise on this issue. It is your body and you or someone on your behalf is payi...

Re: Colds

Sorry! A Fisher and Paykal model named Icon. i have a plug shortage and it has an alarm clock that frees up the plug I use now for a bedside clock. I am a really old guy with a really old house with outdated electricity. I have the last coal fired laptop I think.

Colds

I have just ordered my first cpap machine. It is a F and P icon. I am very dubious about this. One of my concerns is when you get a cold how do you deal with the products that may come out of your moth when you cough or sneeze. This would seem to be particularly troublesome if you are coughing and s...

Re: OT - Obamacare

Thank you for the rational letter about rights. In many ways we may agree. A democracy is not good with absolute majority rule because then minority opinions are no longer considered. The Constitution's bill of rights exists to protect those who are not in the majority. Although I think the Obama ad...

Re: OT - Obamacare

I was hoping that there would be some discussion this board. I have just gotten on medicare. I have no supplemental coverage available. I am hoping I can get plan D coverage. But by every non biased rating the U.S. is last in medical care provided among first world countries. The last system did not...

Re: OT - Obamacare

Why do Republicans want to kill me. I can not get insurance because I have preexisting medical conditions. No Doctor will take me without some assurance that they will be paid. Emergency rooms will only stabilize you and send you on your way. I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor that should MRI ...

I am a newbie on medicare. All the local suppliers of cpaps who accept medicare seem to be sleezy or shady. Is there any place on line that will accept medicare and actually answer questions, instead saying all the information that I am asking for, such as how to program my own machine, and does the...

buying a new machine

I have been told by my Dr. that my apnea is severe. He is going to send a supplier to visit me. Should I talk to his supplier or is this a conflict of interest? What questions should I ask the supplier and should I at least talk to other suppliers and see what they recommend.
