Re: ROS (Republic of Sleep)

Has anybody ever had any dealings with ROS (Republic of Sleep) ? Just looking for some general information Re the quality of the products they sell, location, etc., etc. I've been using their air filters (the hypoallergenic ones) and like them far better than some others I was given for free. I had...

Re: Family reactions / stigma

Kryll oil comes in much smaller gelcaps than fish oil. Far easier to swallow. I gag great big fish oil caps up--no choice, my anatomy. Sorry about the oceans, but knowing anything can be farmed if they have to. I understand the gagging on larger pills issue. I've never tried krill oil, so I didn't ...

Re: DST changes and weird software reports

I just discovered the machine doesn't want to go back an hour for fall... so I guess my reports will always be in PDT instead of PST. Oops? As long as I don't forget that detail, I figure all should be well... unless you're saying that OSCAR will try to correct the data from the SD card? Your machi...

Re: New member question

Silicone cushions can last many months. The Airtouch cannot be washed because of the foam. If cared for gently (and maybe boiled now and then), silicone cushions can last for *years*. Really? Boiled for how long? Please explain? (no snark there) Here's how you can answer your own question, and poss...

Re: OSCAR chart to grade please? Newguy

...this is the first time I can recall that Rubicon has been described as the professional among us. What is his profession ... ? Hit man. Visa and MasterCard accepted. (Needless to say) all sales final. Discounts available for seniors and military. Seems unwise to me to take credit cards. Leaving ...

Re: Family reactions / stigma

Ah, I meant that in mom's mind it's because I'm fat.😉 You've def got at least $20 worth of posts in this. This, right here, is why I haven't told my parents about the CPAP, among other things. My dad is very very good at finding fault with everything, and blaming everything less than perfect about ...

Re: Do we need/want a new pillow exchange thread?

I've looked at the pillow exchange thread, but since I don't have anything to trade with, it isn't very helpful. That being the case, I wouldn't mind seeing people offering for trade or purchase (at a low cost), to give me an option to get extras without having to have extras that don't work availab...

Re: Does Anyone Hate their CPAP?

There is also one oral-only mask, Fisher & Paykel's Oracle, which may be a good one to try in your case.

Re: Covid and Cpap

Mansplaining? Kinda hard for someone who isn't a man to mansplain things. It's not a problem at all for non-men to mansplain, non-men do it *all the time*. It's just only a problem when men do it. Lets call it what it is "womensplaining" Or you could just take what I said as it was intended. That i...

Re: pressure range questions

Anyone know what temp the hose is when set on auto? some way to find out by looking at past data? this way i can turn up hose temp without feeling like I’m breathing hot air? I think setting it to auto makes it adjust the hose temperature based on the room air temperature, so it could potentially c...

Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

Another thing that I have found really helps me sleep longer is a little weird but what I do is wear really dark sunglasses (preferably red or orange) starting about 3 hours before when I want to go to sleep, and don't take them off for anything. Believe or not it gives me a solid extra hour of bei...

Re: Covid and Cpap

Not everyone can take capsaicin externally. After the sting, the itching is so bad, I have to wash it off. Knowing that, I limit internal use to light culinary application, or skip it entirely. The bullfrog claims he's allergic. Even skipping the cayenne, the honey and lemon juice mixture works rea...

If I could afford a $50,000 truck I could afford an $800 or thousand dollar back up unit.
Can you imagine buying a truck like that just to use the battery as a backup unit for home? :lol:
