Re: SEVERE DRY EYES

Hello,

I have been having a lot of problems with dry eyes lately. I have a couple of questions - do the Manta and Eyeseals block out light completely and are they comfortable for a side sleeper?

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Fine, ...
How old are you, 10?

Are you stomping your feet and huffing and puffing?
Also not on kickstarter. :lol:
To me they are basically interchangeable and I look at them both at the same time.

Re: Legality of selling a new APAP product?

Perfectly legal. It's a Chinese company, not bound by US laws and FDA import regulations. IndieGoGo is a buyer beware platform, their terms state they do not validate the truthfulness, quality, safety, ... of user content. Disputes are between the provider and end users. The device is clearly an AP...

Re: Legality of selling a new APAP product?

Depends on the language being used. The devil is in the detail. And if you're not going to post the link, then nobody can answer or even discuss it intelligently. Post the link, and no, nobody will make any kind of an association between you promoting the device because of a link. Fine, it is https...

Legality of selling a new APAP product?

I saw an APAP being sold on Kickstarter. They say it is not a medical device. Does that disclaimer make it legal? I am not posting the link as I am in no way promoting this product, I am just curious.

Re: Bought a new computer - can't get Resmed SD card to read

A fairly recent Dell desktop PC with Win11 here. I opened up Explorer to show the drives. While both the C and D drive show, the card reader does not show up with no card in the slot. For this Dell the SD card 'latches' when fully seated and 'unlatches' when pressed again. When Inserted the SD card...

Re: Bought a new computer - can't get Resmed SD card to read

I wanted to check on the data in OSCAR, but the computer to recognize my ResMed SD card. Does your computer recognize any card inserted into the reader slot you are using? I tried a different card and no, it does not recognize it. Neither card makes the computer make a sound and my old computer sho...

Bought a new computer - can't get Resmed SD card to read

Hi, My sleep has been really poor lately. I wanted to check on the data in OSCAR, but the computer to recognize my ResMed SD card. The computer does not even show a drive for it, but It won't let me reassign a drive. I am thinking of buying a hub as besides this issue, my new computer has less card ...

Re: Full Face Mask Reccomendations

I am thinking of switching from the F&P Evora nasal to the FFM. One question I have is - do I have to do something special in terms of my mouth? When I used the ResMed Airfit F10, it had a by design rocking motion, but I had problems with that. Is that an issue with the Evora FFM? My sleep lately ha...

Anyone heard about the Transcend Micro?

I got an email from Transcend as I have bought a couple of CPAPs from them, but was wondering if there have been any reviews or articles other than directly from them. I am not planning to rush out and buy one this instant, but if they are as good as they claim to be, maybe some time in the future. ...

Re: My ears are congested when I sleep lately

My ears have always had more sensitivity than normal - I rarely fly because my ears hurt so badly and often are congested for days after the flight.

My ears are congested when I sleep lately

I am a side sleeper and when I put my ear on the pillow, it feels like a vacuum seal. So I ended up rolling on my back, which is less comfortable and worse for my sleep. Any suggestions?

Yes, I use a SunSation lightbox every weekday morning for 15-30 minutes, it helps me wake up.
I realize it will vary per individual, but are the results dramatic for you.
Oh yes, it is very helpful.
