  1. A BPAP machine allows the air that is delivered through the mask to be set at one pressure for inhaling and another for exhaling. This makes it much easier for the user to adapt to the machine and allows a person who has a neuromuscular disease to use the device. These dual settings also allow the user to get more air in and out of his or her lungs.

  11. You don't have to explain or defend yourself! Good luck!
  12. I am addicted to mine also!! You're dr can order an auto titration study from the company you got your machine from!! What the docs here do is order one with a pressure of 5-15 and what happens is it will start at 5 and go as high as 15 and what ever pressure you stay at in that range for a majority of the night will be your new pressure setting! We don't charge our patients for the study either, we do it as a loaner machine and the doc usually orders it for 7 nights! Hope that helps!
  13. Good luck!!! YOU pay for your insurance so whatever the decision I wish you luck!!! It's not like you're cheating anyone on here!
  14. Nooooo!!! Don't do it!!!! I know a guy that didn't wait until his year was up before drinkng and one night he thought he was dying!!!! He went to ER and they said the alcohol had started to eat his stitches/pouch away!! That's why your on this HUGE diet a year out b/c it takes your stomach that long to heal!
