I have used the Cpap people.com for years. They are an online company that sell all makes, models and parts. Very reputable. Hope this helps.

We use Lincare for my husband's supplies. They send you an email when supplies are due, you check off what you want and they ship them directly to your home - couldn't be easier. They have a Fruitland Park office that you set up initially with and never have to go back - 352-315-0566 (ask for Margie).

A word or two to tell folks about The Villages Sleep Apnea Support Group, where you can learn lots to help you deal with this affliction.

Meets on the second Monday of each month (except July & August) at 6:30 pm, Bridgeport Rec Center. Facilitator is Phil Ratliff at 753-8773 or pmratliff@pobox.com.

Many opinions (mostly quite strong) about who's best in supplying you with equipment. As time progresses, I'd have to say that service is less and less friendly. Blame Medicare cutbacks, primarily.

I use Personal Pulmonary - Mike Spiegel. He is great. He comes to the house and brings you whatever you need, whenever you need it. Always available when you call. Mike's number is 352-223-6496. I think you have to set everything up by calling Gail at Personal Pulmonary - 352-343-5095.

I'm also a long time Sleep Apnea patient. I'm so glad there is a support group in The Villages.

Try your dentist
 
Have you tried talking to your dentist? Some dentists, not all, when referred by your physician have been using various types of positioner appliances to help sleep apnea/snoring problems. I have found some patients have been able to eliminate the CPAP use by using the intraoral device.
There are some downsides, yes, but they usually relate more to jaw soreness than anything else. You can get an idea of their use by checking some youtube videos.

I use Nationwide Medical. I tried Lincare but they are terrible down here.
