Just so you all know, my old DME company does not take my current insurance anymore, so I will be involved with a new DME company. Therefore, I have to do another sleep study all over again, and it is scheduled for two weeks from today.
I hope that my new machine is as good as or better than any of the machines mentioned in this thread.
The medical supplier responsible for giving me my new APAP machine may not have anything as good or better than that machine. If this is true, that will be most unfortunate.
I don't know what APAP machines my insurance will cover.
Hi
I will be getting a new APAP machine soon, and I have another appointment with a sleep doctor tomorrow.
I have taken all of the surveys, and the only one I have scored remotely satisfactory on was the one asking about my impact of sleep on daily activities. I have had no impact on any of my daily activities except work.
I received my first APAP machine on my last birthday (incidentally, my next birthday is coming up this year) so I have known about sleep therapy for just under a year now.
I have mixed sleep apnea, but my OSA is more severe than my CSA. I had my APAP machine until a few months ago, when my sleep apnea company insisted that I give it back to them. I ended up owing them a lot of money as a result. I stopped using my APAP machine because I have sensory issues. I do not like the feeling of distilled water in my mouth and I couldn't stand my APAP machine trying to work itself too hard when I had severe OSA episodes. It made a lot of noise while I was trying to sleep also.
My sleep doctor suggested that I use an APAP machine during the day and I will do that for more and more minutes a day until I am used to it. However, the problem is that I have so many outlets in my residence that I don't know which one to plug my machine into in my common area.
Do any of you relate to me?
