Macymom, I Â*have a few that I can send your way. I get 30 a month and never use that many a month and my stash builds up fast! Email me your address and I'll send some out to you. My email address is munchiemart@yahoo.com

Is it your DME only gives you 5 per month or is that what insurance allows??? I think you should call your insurance rep and check that out (I'll do it for you if you want!). It doesn't seem right at all! They are supposed to be changed after 24 hours!

PM me your address too.

Hugs fellow TTTS victim!

Please e-mail me with your mailing address. I have a ton of these, and I'd love to send them to you. My son is on CPAP only 12 hours per day, and in the past two years, we have only had to take him out of the house on CPAP once. If I keep about 10 for myself as backup, I'll be happy to send you the rest.

On Tuesday, I was cleaning and organizing my son's closet, and I was trying to figure out what to do with all of them, so you've done me a favor!

Leslie, mom to Sam
