Re: A Poll -- How compliant are you?

Wow, your machines give you stats? My series M must be a bare bones one. When i first got it they showed me where to read off certain compliance/adherence/submission numbers that were calculated based on my use, but i can't decode them. Anyway I chose 85%. Like most other posters here i'm 99-100% at...

Re: CPAP and SCUBA

Let me qualify by saying I'm not a diver, but my understanding of nitrogen absorption while diving comes not from the pressurized air one is breathing, but from the pressure of the water around you the deeper you go. I wouldn't think they are related.

Noob Realizes He Needs To Pay More Attention

I got some spare tubing, masks, etc once after about a year and haven't heard from my supplier since. Things seem to work fine. Then my wife and I went on a cruise last week. Our first vac...

Re: Low Vitamin D level appears to cause sleep apnea

Hi, first post! I too am wary of "cures" spoused by one or two voices out in the wilderness. That being said, there are many health benefits to taking vitamin D3. A podcast I listen to about computer security "Security Now" on the Twit Network http://twit.tv delved deeply into the topic of Vitamin D...
