under certain circumstances. I recently changed from a cpap to an one that adapts to my sleeping patterns and is monitored by wireless. Don't know the technical term but my doctor can download info about my usage and when I got it the rep left me the booklet on how to access the info, which for some reason they would prefer the patient not access

Which reminds me, I have two older cpaps that were upgraded and I keep meaning to donate them. However if anyone here can use them, send me email and postage and I will be glad to send them. If paying postage is a problem, mention that in email so we can still make it happen.

am not shot down by it.

I am old enough I suppose it could help me breathe another extra 2 weeks in the nursing home, eh???? Cuz
I believe when my time comes it comes. I hate this devise and i think they are making millions off of
selling them.

I have never known anyone that went for the apnea sleep test.and..passed it...

We ALL snore, we ALL don't breathe periodically in our sleep. So what....Some of us smoke, some of us drink,
and some ignore what is suppose to be good for us (MORE THAN SOME) so enjoy life, don't get too caught up
in something you hate....

I feel like Big Brother is watching me too...cuz I'm on medicare and they monitor my use.....I travel alot
AND NEVER CARRY IT ON planes..... to cumbersome if you want to carry a purse, etc.
