for some reason, i have the impression that the New Jersey AWAKE group is a pretty strong one.

I live in New Jersey and would love to belong to one of these groups. I think they could be very beneficial. I definitely need a support group. Sometimes I just feel like forgetting about that mask but I know I can't.
NOW, if we could just get a DeVilBiss Rep to at least one our support group meetings to demonstrate and tell us more about the capabilities of their new DeVilBiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust!!!!!
Judy - can you please tell me where you are and when you're AWAKE Groups occur?

Wow! THANK YOU for responding, DeVilbissMarketing!!!!
Ours is not an AWAKE support group. Our local apnea support group is sponsored and presented by our local hospital's sleep staff and VNA. Covenant HealthCare in Saginaw, Michigan. Support Group contact is: (989) 583-2930. The meetings are roughly every 2 months but there are some winter or summer months they go longer in between. I can't find my flyer w/the list of meetings for the rest of this year and beginning of next. the next one is this October 2009. The AWAKE group in Saginaw and the one in Owosso never bothered to return my inquiries.
I would be delighted to have a DeVilbiss Rep attend one or more of our meetings. The Fisher & Paykel Rep was here two meetings ago w/their new fully data capable APAP. Last meeting the only Rep who attended was the Respironics Rep so we had a real chance to investigate their new FullLife mask and their new PR SystemOne Auto.
Generally only the Resmed and Respironics Reps attend but the Fisher & Paykel Rep said he will be attending more meetings now.
