Nothing is editable; Uh, maybe because they don't want you stealing their work? free professional Note the irony of this phrase. By definition, professionals get paid for the work they produce. If it were free, they wouldn't be professionals. They would be volunteers providing a free service. Which...

I've seen quite a few people post here that they dream more once their xpap treatment is successful. My experience has been just the opposite, and I'm curious if anyone has experienced this effect. All my life I've had very vivid nightmares on a regular basis (several times a week). We're talking bo...

As of 1/1/08, my insurance changed to CIGNA. Although my old insurance (Anthem) paid for my sleep studies and machine with no co-pay, they did not pay for masks at all. They considered them to be "supplies" that are not covered. After reading everything on this board about CIGNA and Apria, I was sur...

I'm not familiar with the ComfortGel mask, so this is a question for those who might be more "in the know" on that mask. For some masks, the different parts (headgear, cushion, etc.) aren't interchageable between sizes. If Allison purchases a new cushion and flap in size petite for her size small he...

I have the S8 Elite also. My first week on CPAP, I had a Respironics machine with C-Flex, and I was not comfortable with the algorithm (if that's the correct term) for the exhalation relief. As soon as I switched to the S8, it felt much more "natural" to me. The reason I mention this is simply to sa...

That works great for recipes as well. I've scanned my favorites into the computer and downloaded many more. Now I just print out the recipe I want to prepare and throw it away when I'm finished. Susan What an amazingly wonderful idea! I have a recipe software program, but I never seem to get around...

The only FF mask I've successfully used is the F&P 432/431. The 432 is essentially the same as the 431, except that it has a foam insert. I personally can't get the mask to fit properly with the insert, so I'm using the 432 without it. The thing I like about this mask is that since it goes under the...

I think it's a fantastic option for us to have available. The one caution I would add to those already listed here is to be careful of description accuracy. I noticed just today that there are a couple of machines listed in the auto cpap category that are not auto machines. I also noticed the other ...

....all this time on xpap, and all we had to do was stick magnets up our noses! Who'd have thought!

I was going to post this suggestion if no one else did. Worked great for me.

I think you should submit it, and I'd be very surprised if they didn't cover it. I looked at the IRS list as to what's eligible and what isn't, and virtually anything used to treat a medical condition is covered. Ineligible items would be things that are cosmetic in nature (e.g., tooth whitening pro...

I work for one of the dreaded insurance companies, and as part of my job I've gathered a lot of information on the Medicare Part D Plans. In a nutshell, what's happening is that the companies who offer these plans have found that the prescription-only plans (PDPs) are a lot less profitable than the ...

Does the mask setting on the Resmed machines affect therapy (e.g., pressure delivered), or is it strictly for calculation purposes? I thought it was the latter.

[quote="weebles"]Hi, I use the swift and many times wake up with my face mashed into my pillow on my stomach. I worry that the exhaust may get blocked when I am in this position.
