Tomjax said "I could write a book on dumb prescribing by docs and the errors missed by pharmacists." As a patient affected by some of these errors, I could contribute to his book. So, Julie, it is important for patients to learn as much as they can from the internet and books, and also listen to fri...

Thanks for a great idea. Are you using this hose setup with the UMFF? I would love to see pictures.

Thanks, Karen. I just e-mailed this to my DME RT. When I saw her a few weeks ago, she seemed unaware of CMS' new bidding scheme for DME's.

hkelly1, when my GP said I might have sleep apnea and he wanted to send me to a sleep specialist, I told him that I sleep well and the problem couldn't be sleep. Also, I am not a snorer. But I did want to feel better, so I went to the sleep lab and the test showed I have severe sleep apnea. So, yes ...

Ken, please keep us up-to-date on your progress. Do you know how long each day the treatment/training will take? Won't the treatment require energy? How much will it cost? Good luck!

I've had tinnitus since an automobile accident where both eardrums burst when I was 16. Mine sounds like the roar of the ocean and much of the time I'm not even aware of it.

I hope you are able to pull up one of these links and view. We are providing the links below for you to view the full PBS Special ...

I have my pressure set at 11 also. We are all different, but using the ramp did not work for me. The pressure increase after I am asleep wakes me up. If you should decide to try sleeping without the ramp, you might want to wear the mask with machine blowing at full speed for a few minutes before you...

Julie, yes I was tested for celiac because I knew my symptoms could be celiac disease. Thankfully, I do not have celiac and thanks for asking.

Linda, if it's financially feasible, I'd keep the old machine that still works. I used my new machine about 9 months, but it had gotten so noisy I finally returned to my old one and was thankful I had kept it.

This is in regard to your discussion on a thread about another subject. GERD: I don't know if this can be true of anyone else, but my food does not seem to digest or at least get through my system past the regurgitate point as fast as normal people. Doing everything you have all mentioned on the Ger...

Ditto!!

Hi, all. I didn't have time to read all the posts in these 26 pages, so forgive me if you are already aware of soap berries. In case you aren't kept informed of healthy products in NewsTarget by Mike Adams, you might like to read this. Read the whole article, but I excerpted the following which peak...
