Topic: RE: New CPAP machine
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea on 5/8/09 and sent home with the CPAP machine the same day.
Topic: RE: New CPAP machine
wow I can't believe how long it is taking to get machines for you guys. The place I did my sleep study at diagnosed me and sent me home that morning with a programed machine. I was surprised. It makes sense though, if the person needs it, just give it to them to make sure they are still alive to work out the details. Granted I did have to sign my life away when I left lol.
Glad he is getting his machine and will hopefully sleep better now.

Topic: RE: Severe Sleep Apnea
I suggest you get an autopap machine if you are going to lose weight. It has a built in algorithm that senses apneic episodes and adjusts the pressure automatically.
I also use the Provigil and it works very well with no side effects that I can tell. It is very expensive though and some insurance policies don't cover it.

Topic: RE: EARS STOPPED UP
I would call your cpap suppler and ask them about it if you are still having that problem
Topic: RE: STILL pulling it off!
Hang in there it will get better. Had mine since 2006 and I wont go to bed without it, I even travel with it!
Topic: RE: anybody need a cpap?
I have a machine already, but I have a question. How did you find out your apnea was cured. Did you figure it out yourself or were you re-examined? Also how much did you lose to in order to be cured? Thanks and good luck selling the machine, I know about those dam co-pays!
Topic: New CPAP machine
My husband will be getting a new CPAP machine for the first time this coming Tuesday, June 9th, after having had a sleep study almost a couple of weeks ago. That was fast! I had to wait for the sleep study doctor to see me first, then call them about the machine, before they would send it out. His doctor and sleep study place worked faster than mine, thank G-D!

You really should start the3 cpap before surgery to get accustomed to it. My surgery is the 16th and I'ver been using my cpap since Feb. and I'M STILL PULLING IT OFF at night. Don't know why but I am. Good Luck!
Topic: RE: Hubby has sleep apnea
Our insurance company (United Health Care) paid totally for my CPAP machine, so they should pay totally for my husband's machine.
