i do not have to tape thankfully as i know that i have skin that is sensitive to tape and just the sort of damage you describe- i know some of the tapers here use a variety of non medical type tapes but i would be very cautious unless you have tested your skin and know it can take it- simply because...

I agree with the others who have suggested that you get the menopause hot flushes reviewed by your Doctor- a vist to your OB GYN is really worth while- there are lots of different medication options and they are usually only required short term until the hormone levels even out- a quick blood test c...

i agree that orthostatic hypotension tends to be a symptom of other issues rather than a health condition in its own right so to speak- you mention the fact that your doctor queried the possibility of MS, i have MS and while i certainly hope that you do not have to deal with this awful condition, if...

I have another model that is featured on that website, the CMS 50E, and i paid the same price as this web site quotes- i have been more than happy with it! I got one of my collegues to test it against an oximeter that she used in a work setting and found the results to be comparable so i am happy wi...

nice to meet you too, I love my machine, i used to wake in the morning with a headache that made me feel i had been kicked in the forehead by a mule! i put up with that for years because i did not recognize it as a symptom of sleep apnea! My attitude would probably have been the same as yours when i...

Just washing hands a lot more than usual and carrying around a bottle of hand sanitizer, i always have a small bottle in my bag- i found that when i became wheelchair dependant i seemed to pick up more illnesses such as gastroenteritis, colds etc. and at first i thought it was because of a health de...

i work in an organisation that is considered a front line organisation when it comes to disasters or major health concerns and while there is concern that is all that it is at the moment- a lot of reinforcing good hygeine practices and what to do if a person starts having flu like symptoms. avoiding...

i was using a mirage micro and that was a small size, i was reasonably happy with it but did tend to have to fiddle a bit each night to get it to a position that it would not leak. The resmed machine i use is a bit picky about what masks can be used, the activa lt was one of them so i was interested...

i have the same model too and i am very pleased with it, it was very good value for money. the written instructions were poor english but to be honest the gadget was so easy to figure out that it did not matter, the software was easy to work out too, one program was for reivewing recored data while ...

i too am glad you are getting it checked- eyes are too delicate to take chances with- le us know what he says! you can get air in the tissues, they call it surgical empysema- i have seen it in some with a fracture rib that had punctured the muscle wall- the sking popped like bubble wrap when touched...

I was talking about this with a friend on recently, i was saying that in a way it is probably just as well that i am single and live alone- I have MS and a couple of other health problems- i can remember seeing a scene in a clint eastwood movie where he was a secret service agent looking after the p...

I think filtering the water is solving the problem of buidling up lime scale deposits but my preference initially was to use distilled water- infact that would still be my preference. As hard as i look though the only brands of distilled water i can find say that they are are not suitable for drinki...

i sneezed into my mask early hours of the morning once, I felt the urge and was trying to unclip the mask quick enough but failed! i think i almost swallowed my tonsils! then in the morning i found i had a blood shot eye! don''t know if it was the mask explosivly landing back on my face or if it was...

i had lap band surgery some years ago and have been a member of an online forum for bariatric surgery. i was lucky that i was able to get surgery in my own home town, here in australia the insurance companies do not get the chance to make life tough regarding this kind of surgery like it can over in...

a 1part white vinegar to 10 parts water makes a cleaning solution that is useful at removing lime scale and mineral deposits from in kettles and in humidifiers for those who use tap water. Our tap water is very hard, we tend to get mineral build up around the elements in the kettle very quickly but ...
