Question about C Pap Machines..

Hi everyone.. I just recived the results from my sleep study today. I do have severe sleep apnea. I stopped breating 445 times in 3 hours . The sleep center refered me to a place called Lin Care for the machine. When they called me they told me 11 hundred dollars because I dont have insurance. Vocational Rehabilitation is paying for my surgery and all my testing but will not pay for the machine I need. My question is... Is there a place online that sales them cheaper? The Rep. from Lin Care told me to try the internet for cheaper prices but I have no idea where to start looking. I am getting so close to getting a surgery date but now I'm a little discouraged about this. If anyone knows anyone online please let me know. I have heard some people mention Ebay. Has anyone ever got one from Ebay? How much did you pay? Please Thanks Kay

Hi Kay, Check out http://www.cpap.com/. Or just go to google and do a search to see what comes up. I started to use a cpap machine almost a year ago and it made a world of difference. Good luck! Mary

hi kay: i got a c pap machine about a year ago but only used it for a short time. i haven't needed it since surgery. i would be willing to send it to you, it would please me to see someone who needs it - use it. please just let me know your address and i'll take it from there. OK? dorthe

Dorthe Thanks for offering me your machine!! Someone on the main board emailed me and offered me there machine so hopefully that works out. If it doesn't, I'll be emailing you soon! Thanks again for your support Kay
