I have a CPAP Machine that I will let go for basically what my copay was. It was 150 dollars. It is about 2 years old and is a Remstar +. It was only used 2x. Couldnt stand using. Recently had a sleep study and got another CPAP machine that I still hate but I am trying to get used to using it. The Remstar that I have has a humidifier and everything with it. Only thing you would need would be a mask. For anyone that is self paying it may help you out.

Thanks Randy! I will call my Dr. first thing Monday morning and see what he says.

Ok, before anyone tells me, yes I already know I am stupid! I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a year ago and never got treatment. I have noticed myself waking up more and more gasping for air lately and decided, ok dummy it's not gonna go away on it's own! So now I need to know a few things. How do I go about getting my CPAP? Does insurance pay for it? One of my major problems is that my nasal passage is always "stuffed up", so how will the CPAP help me? Any answers will greatly be appreciated!

Thank you.....I called the sleep lab again today and I am going to pick up the machine this Friday. I guess my test isn't done yet. She said that I am borderline sleep apnea. I woke up 30 times during the night. How many times do you need to wake up to have sleep apnea? I think 30 times is alot! She said that after I bring the cpap back, the doctor will go over it and see if I need one or not. Patty

Hi...my first sleep test was the one that they send you home with. My doctor felt that I needed to go to the hospital for the overnight one. I went in on Dec. 23rd. I have been waiting almost 6 weeks for the results and after calling to inquire, I got a call from the sleep lab. They said that I needed to come in and get a cpap machine to take home for a couple of weeks. She said that the test wasn't complete because the tech didn't come in and put the machine on me. I don't understand this as I was there from 10pm to 6am and there were only 3 of us there instead of the usual 6. There were also 2 techs on that night. How will they know if I have sleep apnea by me taking the machine home myself? She did mention something about if I felt better after taking the machine home, they would order me one. I am totally confused. If anyone has any insight on this, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Patty Riverside
