So. . I got some rose water

Post by quietmorning » Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:23 am

and added a little to my CPAP wipes to cut that ucky smell out.

And I went to bed last night thinking *ah sooooooo much better*.

And I woke up this morning.

With a head ache.

And my AHI doubled from the night before.

Heh.

I forgot. . . I'm allergic to roses.

Hmmm. Sounds like you need to find an Indian (dot style) acquaintance and barter for some home-style Vindaloo Rose Water is an ingredient in a number of Indian deserts.

When in doubt, open the case. Remember: If you can't open it, you don't own it!

Prescribed APAP range - 6-10 cm/H2O, titrated at 8.
Current range - 9.0-11.5 cm/H2O - still searching for the magic "zero night" but averaging 2.2 AHI

I had a rose dish when I lived in England - whoa, strong strong stuff. . .

Then was sick for three days. . .

didn't find out it was rose petals until after I had eaten two of the rolls. . . oops. (Never knew rose petals were edible!)

I love rose scent straight from the bloom; rose-scented anything else is just a bit much.
(maybe it's the artificial scent)
I enjoyed home made rose wine at my hubby's relatives.
I used to love these:
