Sleepy, Mine did come in sealed plastics bags, it's just that's all that came. She actually did go into the store room but they didn't have an XS in stock. I just wanted to see if everyone else got the complete package as far as fitting guide, dvd, travel bag. I really like my DME and we have a goo...

Hey Jeff, I've had corneal ulcers before and know your pain. I've also asked my doctor if she has the drops in her office. Usually they get quite a bit of samples and I have yet to buy drops. It might be worth it to ask doc next time if he can give you a bottle if they have it in the office. Good l...

What came with your Quattro??

I just got a new Quattro mask from my DME. When I was in for my fitting, we tried the SM and XS sizes. I fitted at the XS but they didn't have a new one in stock so it was ordered. It came today in two plastic bags with Resmed cards inside that say Components/Spare Parts. One had the mask itself an...

Jodie, One thing you mentioned was eating alot of crap when you quit smoking. That's about when mine started as well. Has your doctor told you to cut back on salt and salty foods, especially chips, pretzels, etc.? It will only make you retain more fluid. My heart was also checked out and is fine bu...

We have been at the hospital 2x a day since then and guess what I noticed while watching him sleep? The man stops breathing constantly! On Sat. afternoon, I said to to ICU nurse, "Has an...

Hey Rooster,

I've been going through the same thing lately. The dry mouth is so bad in the am, that I've been taping while wearing my F & P 431 FF mask! My husband thinks I'm nuts but it has helped with the dry mouth but I am tired as well. I wonder if I'll ever get it right! UGH!

Roberto, You have made me laugh so much these past few weeks!! Can I blame the ringing in my ears on my 1st concert 30 yrs. ago also or on my kids yelling at each other? In any event, I can't blame high BP because mine is always low. I only notice it when I read these posts about it. James, good lu...

I had emailed ResMed to ask the question of which setting to use for a non ResMed mask about 2 weeks ago. I emailed them because my mother's DME told her to use the standard setting on her S8 Elite for her F&P 431 full face mask. My thought was to use the UMFF setting instead. Two people from ResMe...

Dave, I'm sorry I can't help you directly but I would change the title to :Central Apnea and my RT or something that mentions CA's. That will hopefully grab the attention of ChristineQuilts who is very experienced in that area and with those machaines. There are several others as well that will pro...

James,

Maybe you can add a link to the Berlin Questionnaire. I don't know how or I would.

Mary


Here is a link to the questionnaire and scoring guide.
