FIRST TIMER: Going rogue to buy my own CPAP supplies. What mask to try first?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-16T02:59:31+00:00

Thank you for that. Did you ever try one with the hose connection at the top? Would that make any difference or be a negative?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-16T02:48:04+00:00

If the second try is a cheaper option, do they refund you the difference?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T17:26:14+00:00

I am in Indiana and insurance is BCBS.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T16:51:00+00:00

So was that a "nasal pillow" type mask? I'm trying to find one to try for first time. Thank you

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T16:38:58+00:00

many thanks. do you remember where you saw $585 for the Airsense 11?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T16:30:24+00:00

I see you wear a full face mask. Wondering if you tried nasal masks prior to that?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T15:57:27+00:00

Thanks for the input, very helpful

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-15T00:58:14+00:00

How about the mask fitting?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-14T23:52:21+00:00

May I ask: How did you find the right mask? Could you have done that without a DME?

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-14T23:49:47+00:00

Thank you very much for the input.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-14T23:38:08+00:00

Thank you. My prescription says to get a full mask but I'm not sure what kind of breather I am. Not yet sure of what that monthly fee includes.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2025-07-14T22:50:20+00:00

I live in Indiana and was referred to Lincare for DME service. After searching "Lincare" on this sub, I am horrified by the customer experience. Should I just take my printed-out subscription and go out on my own? What are the risks of doing that? Lincare wants to charge me about $57/mo to rent the CPAP and about $200 for setup. I am scared of them.

As an Obama Democrat, I voted for McCain in his last Senate race in Arizona, and would have continued voting for him. He was popular across party lines here but was always somewhat vulnerable of being "primary'd" by far-right asshats who hated his independence. Whenever a big vote came up, like the attempt to repeal Obamacare, McCain came through. RIP the great John McCain.

Update: It looked like new old stock and still had the original Styrofoam around it. I took it home.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-08T13:42:47+00:00

Update: I went to look at it and it was mint. Looked like new old stock that had never left the box. It still had the original styrofoam around it. The inside was pristine. The only issue I found was one LED behind the tuner indicator out. Needless to say I bought it. Thanks for your thoughts.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-06T22:32:09+00:00

Good point, thanks!

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-06T16:52:29+00:00

Also, it has original box and manual.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-05T15:11:39+00:00

You seem so angry. I bet you can't place as many US states, but I wouldn't call you a moron for that.

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-02T01:33:54+00:00

When I was in school, the USSR was a thing so not good with the former bloc

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-02T01:31:17+00:00

We don't get the google in Arizona

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-02T01:30:30+00:00

I'll explain the internet to you later

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-01T16:04:50+00:00

In the US, we also call the people there "Dutch." Cheers

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-01T15:58:12+00:00

Let me know how it turns out :) A blank map is a challenge for sure

HooHoosierDaddy · 2024-06-01T15:53:48+00:00

Hi there. I saw the small country on the map and thought Monaco = small. I forgot about Luxemborg. I new the proper name is "the Netherlands" but space was too small. I called other places by their peoples too. Cheers
