Re: ALWAYS KEEP TRYING, NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!

does the reshaped Mack's earplug attach to the outside of the cushion and stick to your face?
Oh, BTW, Wal mart sells them for half the price of Walgreed's--same item.

Re: How did you feel?

I don't care if I have to wear this getup to sleep for the rest of my life. The rest of my life will probably be a lot longer because of it. So what if it's 'not natural'-- My body just wasn't designed to last as long as it has--blame heredity. To heck with 'nature', especially if it wants me to die...

Re: S9 Climate Line has a hole!

People are touting 'Rescue tape' in this forum, but it's ungodly expensive--
Just bop down to Harbor Freight (love that place) and get X-Treme tape.
I bought some just in case I need to make a repair later.
I got vetwrap on the joints now as a preventive measure.

Re: My S9 Slimline is KAPUT!

Another question: does anyone know the difference between Rescue Tape and X-Treme Tape? --besides price?

If you smell chlorine when you blow your nose, there's infection present.

Re: Homemade FX hose tamer

Maybe I'll try pulling the hose up and back.
That sounds like a nice set-up, and I can move my cord up to another grommet on the fishing pole.
No jigging allowed.

Re: Homemade FX hose tamer

My hanger is a swinging planter bracket with a duct-taped skinny end of a fishing pole (oops!--not yet retired) At least he knows where to find it. About half of my FX slinky tube lays on me, but my slimline is mostly on or behind the scrunchie. Not as high, but it keeps it out of the mini-blinds.

Re: Wheres the beef? (Energy)

I still believe that a great deal depends on adrenaline levels, but constant high levels will kill you. And, apparently it doesn't take much to affect that. My untreated AHI was only 13, and I was waking up so revved I couldn't get back to sleep, getting up at 5 or six because that's when I woke WIT...

Re: My S9 Slimline is KAPUT!

My slimline hose broke next to the connection after just 102 days use, but my DME said ResMed sent a few to replace defective ones they had made. I got a free replacement. I think it's a little stiffer than the original. Probably not buying Rescue tape--horribly expensive! I am reinforcing the joint...

Re: Should my mask be blowing air away from me all the time?

I try to pull up a corner of the bedding onto my husband's shoulder when I sleep on that side. He complains about the cold air.

Re: Getting the right size mask

My big disappointment with the Mirage Quattro (and Micro to a lesser extent, was that even with the forehead brace, the mask frames rock on my cheekbones, preventing a seal at either the bridge of the nose or at the bottom of the mask--I 'get' to pick which. You would think that at those prices, the...

Re: Dual Tests

We all do what we have to in order to live better by sleeping better. Sleep is worth a lot; and the folks selling it know that full well. Many investors look to the big sleep tech companies for their fortunes. Their numbers are going up. Capitalism. Competition. It is what it is. --better to light a...
