Re: what are ultra fine filters made of?

They may be made of recycled belly button lint. Recycling is good for the environment.

Re: Are All DME's Bad?

Never, ever only shop at only the DME your physician sends you to. They may be wonderful or horrible but how would you know which? You must go to them and at least three or four different ones if possible. Since there are so few machine manufacturers they will probably sell you a good machine. But, ...

O/T sending pm

I know that I am less than intelligent but this seems like a stupid question to me.
I want to sent a pm but the form has no place to put in to whom I am sending it. How do I send it.

I know there are no stupid questions but stupid people ask questions.

Re: Nasal pillows are hurting me bigtime

I have both a Pilairo and a Nuance. The Pilairo is much softer but a little larger. It comes in a universal size. Most problems occur when people tighten the nose pillow when it leaks rather than loosening the straps so the pillows can make their seal.

Re: F&p icon water temp?

My icon A does it too. I checked the paperwork with my machine and it it's normal. the answer to the question involves philosophical and metaphysical questions that are higher than my paygrade.

Why is this site dominated by resmed and respironics fanatics?

Re: 3d printed cpap mask

Thank you for correcting my misconception. I thought 3 D printing along with my drier which loses one sock out of a pair were plots of the evil red menace intending to enslave freedom loving people everywhere. Now I gues the evil commies think they can make us to drones who follow their orders by si...

Re: I'm Done. Cannot do this.

I find my cpap pillow works wonders especially if I sleep on my side. I do not adjust my mask until I am on my side. What works on your back will not work on your side. I switched to Fisher and Paykill pilairo nose pillow because the pillow is bigger and the thingys that go into your nostril are mad...

Re: Does face washing help FFM fit and reduce leaks?

Face washing is like washing your towels or your sheets. A complete waste of time! If you do it today in another couple of months it will look like you never did it. Why waste time doing if you will soon have to do it all over again?

Re: Pilairo Q Nasal pillows mask

I use the Pilairo mask despite what says on the bottom. First, loosen the headgear, that could be part of your problem. Then put the nose piece while your machine is running. Then place the prongs in your nose until you get a good seal. The prongs will not be pushed into your nose but will rest easi...

alibaba

Since alibaba is now available to sell in this country I note that they have 7 Chinese manufacturers sell cpap machines. Does anyone know where I can find out about these machines. They seem to be MUCH cheaper than current machines talked about on this site and they have similar specs. Will this com...

220 days and things I did well and things I wish I had known

The most important part of this is to pick a good doctor. Always set up an appointment to interview the doctor, and be prepared to pay for the time. If the doctor balks, run. Interview as many doctors as possible. A good doctor will talk to you about everything including dental appliances,digeridoos...

If you want to know exactly what you say contact the NSA and they will have a recording of it. Do not sleep with someone who has a lower security clearance than you or you will be waterboarded at guantanomo,

Re: Doctoring Has Changed

This Sunday's New York Times had an article from a Doctor defending a Doctor acting as a parent and withholding information from patients based only on the Doctor's judgment. When will they ever learn.
