Re: APAPs -- are they becoming standard prescriptions from Docs?
My doc wouldn't do an apap, but did let me go for the elite. I got the feeling he wasn't very familiar with the machines themselves. And the tech that gave me the machine either didn't know how to set the machine up or didn't want me to have access to anything because when I asked about seeing the s...

Re: Do you use RAMP?

Just switched out the brick for a Resmed S9 Elite yesterday but thanks to power outages last night I didn't get to turn it on until 5:30 this ...

Re: Pillow Thief
If you look at the enlarged photo at overstock, the tag on the pillow does say Regenesis - so I'd think it's the same pillow. That being said, it is more expensive there than at Pur-Sleep! I've been wondering for years if there was a better pillow than what I'd been using. I think this might be just...
