You might want to explore WHY the mask is moving around so much. I can't speak for others but in my experience my Resmed Activa LT does not move around very much: rarely enough to cause any leaks and even then, never more than a nudge to the mask cannot stop the leak. And my hair is not very long (b...

OK. I get it. Spamming is prohibited and it's not nice when competitors come on the forum to try to sell their wares in direct competition with cpap.com. Those policies are long standing and understood. What I was reacting to was Pugsy's blanket statement that "...posting links to competitors online...

In case you weren't aware of it this forum is hosted by cpap.com who is an online retailer of CPAP products just like the business you posted a link to and posting links to competitors online is frowned upon. ...... What? Since when has this been frowned upon? I've never seen nor heard of such a ru...

A great post and educational for all Ontario cpapers! One more thing, though. Please post the names of the sleep lab and DME. That way anyone dealing with them can be forewarned. I'm not sure I would have given them that $400 deposit up front. I suspect you are unlikely to see any refund from them a...

.... The three other people I spoke to sort of made up three different stories. By the time I left the store, they knew that I knew they were lying. ..... The only real question in all this is what are you going to do about your lying DME. Are you going to dump them or keep them under a VERY carefu...

I've been using clinicalsleep.com out of Vancouver. My experience has been that they deliver in 1 to 2 weeks and shipping has been free. In general, I've found their prices competitive with (or maybe even a little cheaper) than those at cpap.com when you factor-in the exchange rate and cpap.com's sh...

My husband and I each got a letter from Apria explaining that "On January 1, 2016, Medicare initiated a drastic reduction in reimbursement for home oxygen therapy and other home medical equipment. Another significant cut is scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2016, reducing reimbursement rates b...

Hello All, I'm a first time CPAP user who has been very happy with my initial purchase of DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask ---I adjusted to it very quickly and it was working great. However, over the last week , there is now a whistling noise through the mask as I breathe that makes it impossible to sleep...

The bulk discount thing makes sense. I can't complain too badly, as it is in an excellent machine-- unlike what some DMEs are unloading. I think just did not want to carry anything else. They have one type of machine and it works for them. most likely That, combined with the cost of keeping stock o...

Can germs pass from the humidifier to me? No, using a heated humidifier in line with your CPAP device will not cause you to become sick or give you germs. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s heated humidifiers are pass-over humidifiers that do not produce aerosols (the fine water droplets that are visible...

Den, sorry, you're not getting off that easy... This actually involves two parts. The first part involves xPAP machines producing aerosols. F&P and the others say no, but testing shows something different. If you will remember I got into this discussion when I suggested adding a little salt to the ...

Any feedback from the group or anyone who's tried both? 1. I have an Airsense 10 from Apria and it seems to be working okay, but I feel like it's algorithm isn't quite getting up to the pressure I need. Doc has it set between 10 and 20 cm/H2O. My algorithm pretty much averages out at 12.9 or so. I'...

We are getting a grant from the city to upgrade our insulation, electrical and plumbing!!! $22000 !!!!! The only strings attached is that if we sell the house within 20 years it has to be paid back which is no issue at all. The roof is going from R6 to R50!!!!!! The old now illegal plumbing lines a...

Most people never travel with a cpap. I suspect that is one reason why companies like Philips Respironics don't bother to provide a decent travel case with every machine. Also, it offers them the opportunity to up-sell you on a proper travel-case. This didn't use to be the case for Philips Respironi...

I noticed this thread and thought I might post about my upcoming travel plans -- the first time I'll have ever traveled with my APAP machine ... Early next week I'll be traveling within the U.S. on an American Eagle flight on a fairly small jet (Embraer EMB 175, which has 24 rows). I can't recall o...
