Re: Eyelid twitching

If I spray dimetapp into my nose I notice my eye lids twitch. The spray must clear the link between the nose and the eye and the pressure affects the eye.

I just started to use a Resmed S9 VPAP and find everything is running well and no problems. It was expensive though.

Re: My machine is right beside me. My best friend!

Got my new Resmed s9 VPAP yesterday. Very little noise,and worked well. After 8 hours in bed I think I got 7 hours sleep and a AHI of 1.1.
The only problem was the price. We get overcharged here in Australia.
