Thank you Pugsy. I have tried the cushion, not for me. I need the pillows. Or I need to find a mask that will work for me. Looking around the cpap.com site, there looks like lots of options but everyone is different....will probably have to try a few before I find another that works as well as the C...

Thanks but the ebay ad says DOES NOT SHIP TO CANADA.

The first place I looked was cpap.com.....have always bought supplies there. Sadly they only have the one size available and not the size I need. I have looked at other masks but find it depressing as when I first started I went through so many different ones trying to find what worked. Spent way to...

Right, not the Canadian Government, the government of Ontario. I am researching now to see what machine I would like as the sleep doc is totally against apap. Had a struggle some years ago when I researched and insisted to him that I wanted apap so I could track my treatment. Hopefully he has modern...

So here is my story. I have been using th same Apap (Resperonic) machine since December 2005. I am planning on retiring soon and want to get a new updated machine before I retire. I have no insurance coverage other than the portion the Canadian Government pays towards machine. My question is, and I ...

Another from Ontario! I have severe OSA. 106 AHI per hour. O2 stats dropping to 72 for as long as 92 seconds at a time. My brother died in his sleep of untreated OSA. I was diagnosed 3 years ago next month. I have been complient ever since. i was never threatened with loss of license, but am sure if...

I live in Northern Ontario and have had the same experience as Hawthorne, having purchased both from Cpap.com and cpapauction.com. Hawthorne gives very good advice about shipping as on occasion I have been stung by duty fees when purchasing from individuals. I will continue to shop at cpap.com and c...

I did contact the Aussie hose people in Australia....they are ever so friendly and helpful. They said that any electrical place in the UK would have what I need. I didn't find this to be the case in this area. I did however manage to order online, the adapter that billbolton suggested. It was out of...

I am a Canadian visiting at the moment in the UK and will be traveling on to Singapore and then Australia. I have sorted out apap and laptop connections with not too much problem but the aussie heated hose is a real problem. I cannot find where to get proper adapter for it and thougth that I could d...

When I told my sleep doc that I still woke up with a start and panic on occassion especially when rolling over onto my back, he agreed to change my script to apap. That wonderful advice came from this board. I love my apap. I would never have remained compliant if I had had to stick with the origina...

I live in Ontario and purchase my cpap filters and other supplies from cpap.com. There are no issues at the border. The package is always marked medical supplies so no duty. It comes quick and the price is good.

1) Carry on - get a messenger bag. When flying domestically, I try not to check bags and take everything as carry-on. That was easier in my pre-CPAP days, when I had just a laptop bag and a roll-aboard suitcase. The first time I traveled with a 3rd bag for the CPAP, the screeners would stop me and ...

There is a good discussion happeing right now on Canada AM.

They have a swift and a CL2 on display. Sleep doc is talking about OSA and causes and treatment.

Very interesting.

The difference in security is hilarious. I have my main carryon bag (full sized) which has a laptop bag that pulls out of it, and then of course you take the computer out of the case, so that blows up in to three, and then I have my CPAP with me. Hey blarg.. can you tell me a little more about your...

I am so happy to see someone post about this subject. I too have been having trouble with fluid retention. My Doc told me that "all women your age" have this problem. This to me is totally unacceptable. I started an exercise program in Oct /06 doing Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds workouts. I st...
