Wow. Where to begin. I don't want to interrupt the current pissing contest or anything. First......telling someone that a cervical neck brace is a good alternative to CPAP if they FEEL like they slept "great" is dangerous as hell. Not kidding. Especially if your intended audience is newbies who don'...

your husband seems like a good fit for this approach.... please click on link for flowchart

No, don't do that.

Agreed. Don't.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Your b12, iron, D3 levels? Hormone levels? It is easy to assume that these issues are all due to SA. But I learned the hard way that sometimes SA isn't the only issue. I had Thyroid, B12, and serious iron issues that went unaddressed for a very very long time becau...

I have no plans to register anything or use the app. I have airplane mode on and don't have any desire to be linked to the manufacturer or anyone else.

The seller and I talked for nearly an hour. Nice lady. Has a son the same age as my youngest. That was a question that did arise, because I am aware that some people do have to go through rental with their insurance. I never did. This isn't the first machine I have had. Lol. Just the first time buyi...

Not at all. I am asking a question about one possible component. Not suggesting that is the only or even the main issue. There is a difference.

I have lost 165 pounds and have kept it off for the past 5+ years. It is far too easy for people to talk about weight loss in terms of eat less and move more. Wouldn't it be nice if it was really just that easy? I once gained 7 pounds on a 200 calorie a day, 5 day liquid cleanse diet. No joke. Weigh...

And for the record.....I have a prescription. It is 12 years old, but if I had to prove I had a prescription for cpap I could call up the local sleep center or my old doctor and put in a request for records. My script would be there.

Please be aware that buying a CPAP without a prescription is illegal because it threatens our society.

Hahaha hahaha. No.

Honestly......I made the decision to just buy "used". Yesterday I drove 2 hours to pick up a brand new resmed airsense 10 autoset. A woman with an insurance that fully covered her machine had decided that she wasnt even going to try the machine for a single night. So I scored a brand new machine wit...

I even had one girl say that the faint inhale/exhale coming from the machine made a great white noise that helped her sleep. (Resmed S9 at the time)

My husband always said the same thing about my s8!

Thanks for setting my mind at ease guys! I picked up my new machine today. Just as described. Brand new, in package. 0 hours on it. Brand new heated tube, regular tube, and even a brand new mask all in packages unopened. Now to sit down and get it all set up. I enjoyed my s8 elite and I can already ...

You speak the truth. That would be the filters. Though......the hoses are next in line.

If we are going to play the cheap card, Air, it's free! Jim

Lol.
I am sure someone will find a way to charge us for that at some point.

No luck with my hunt for a backup...postings in Kijiji in my area are way overpriced, even those that are discontinued like the S9 and older. I can buy a new one cheaper than most of the postings. Dave No joke. I have seen people asking some seriously stupid prices for things like the S8 base model.

And I will be picking it up tomorrow. My mom is coming with me. Lol. She had nothing better to do and I can always use some backup in case it turns out to be a kidnapping scheme.
