getting new machine soon; questions

Post by tmaiberger » Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:23 pm

Been a long while since I have been active here. Coming up on 5 years and if memory serves me correctly that is when I can get a new machine through my insurance. I currently have a respironics APAP with c-flex and am thinking will get the equivalent respironics machine (mainly since that has worked for me for so long, but am open to any suggestions for other apap machines that people may have as well). I see now that they have a-flex, what is that? is it the same thing as c-flex?

I have the M series APAP. One machine has C Flex, one machine is A Flex. I like A Flex better. More like natural rhythm.

Of course I haven't tried the new machine.

For explanation that is hard to understand.. you can read about the different flexes, here

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.
