If we, the vaccinated, start going without masks, the herd of anti-vaxx jackasses will get rid of their masks.

Glad I logged in. This is a great thread! My family has been vaccinated. Two of the younger ones are getting near their appointments for second doses. Yes, the vaccine is liberating. But, we are still practicing good avoidance. The CDC page currently shows 109 million with at least one dose. The sup...

Just a quick one - my Dreamstation autoSV is set with an EPAP min of 9, ps 3.0 -> 21, yet no matter what happens OSCAR is showing 15.88 as being as high as the 'mask pressure' ever goes - I know it goes higher than that though as the machine itself says it does. If I stop breathing for a lengthy pe...

Update?

I'm absolutely stalking this thread. I want to know how it turns out! It's like a telenovela, only real life and much more compelling than politics. "Will the protagonist benefit long-term from Turmeric? Will the aerophagia be held at bay? Will a citizen science study arise based on theory and anec...

initially put it on for $200. I got a buyer for a bit under $400 It turns out this buyer lives in rural Australia and in a not-so-well-to-do area. Not only that, he borrowed money to afford the machine. Me? I'm definitely not Bill Gates, but I work in IT and earn a reasonable wage. I felt about *th...

By any chance is your work desk in the bedroom? If so, try to figure out how to work in another room. That's a big deal for me. If I worked all day in the bedroom, it would definitely interfere with my sleep. I'll subscribe to this topic to see if the OP reports an improvement from any of the sugge...

It's not "someone", it's basically a sociopath who's built his empire profiting on the suffering of others. This is typical of your leftist, anti-business, nasty attitude. I assume you were always on the wrong side of income inequality. Like most leftists, I bet you would not have made such a nasty...

the Keto Diet ... you can hardly eat anything.

That's the secret - calorie restriction. Nothing more. (Diabetics are the exception.)

Let it loose

Blaming the CPAP seems at the low end of "conservative".

"We still don't know what sleep apnea is."--Dr. Barbara Phillips. Let me add, she may not know what sleep apnea is, but I sure as hell do. If I ever forget, a 30-minute nap on the sofa without CPAP will sure remind me. She's exaggerating to attract attention. Exactly! I never read articles with hea...

After having used four highly recommended sleep docs in high-income zip codes of major urban areas, I don't trust any of them. The only people I trust are the ones developing machines and masks. They have made great progress since I started treatment many years ago. Also, kudos to the guy who produc...
