Re: What do you want on your next-gen S10, PRS2?

pootsie's suggestion: Coffee butler option... Pour green, unroasted beans into optional coffee tank. Tank roasts coffee to desired darkness. Tank grinds coffee as necessary for either percolator, drip or espresso (noiselessly, of course...) Optional dispensers for cream, frothed milk, non-dairy cre...

Re: What do you want on your next-gen S10, PRS2?

Do they have a machine that makes coffee?

That would be nice.

I also dig the compliance and data wifi or email idea. But coffee is better.

Re: Sleep Apnea is it the leading cause of failure to read Posts

I am just grateful that there are plenty of kind, patient and generous members here willing to keep posting the answers.

I have been on this forum for a couple months and there is a steep learning curve for the uninitiated.

Re: Sick of the Machine - Need a Cause, Need a Cure

There are plenty of conditions with no cure. I do not find it evil that modern medicine seeks to relieve the suffering even if the cause cannot be eliminated.

For instance, there are medications that can control pathological paranoia. Or tinfoil ... tinfoil works, too.

Re: What does ResScan?

I am curious why ResScan info is always by PM.

Or is that something I can only learn by PM?

Re: New user (1 month)

It may be helpful if you post your pressure settings. Have you tried the different sized pillows? And remember, the Swift FX rests on the outside of the nostrils, not stuffed up in there.

Re: How long does a mask last ?

I was about to post asking how long a nasal pillow lasts when here is this thread at the top of the list.

... So ... How long will my Swift FX pillows last?

DME will send me a new pillow every 30 days, new mask 6 mos. I assume they can live longer than that.

Re: Fast insurance pointers

If you are in a PPO you want to find out who are your network DMEs.

I had two choices, and one of them has gotten som very, very bad reactions on this forum. I chose the other one and am quite pleased I did so.

Who are your network choices?

Re: Fast insurance pointers

You should absolutely get a copy of your plan's terms and conditions and read them completely as relates to DME and sleep treatment. You can call your insurance carrier and ask them questions--do it. Also be aware of appeals provisions if you need them.

good luck

Re: Winx--a new alternative to CPAP?

I heard an add for this on the radio yesterday. It was like a late-night consumer product add, starting out with a listing of how horrible CPAPA is, kind of like those adds for kitchen gadgets that no one needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XILbEZlS0U The add told me how much I hate my new CPAP ...

Re: FOR SALE: Swift LT barely used, $60, free shipping in US

I had an inquiry via PM and then no further communication from that individual, so this is still available.
