NLJT and Pugsy -- thank you for the explanation of PB. I, too, have zoomed in on SH Flow Rate data in a vain effort to understand what was going on, and sure enough, my data look similar to the chart you posted NLJT. I've wondered what it meant (the CAs occur to the left of the spikes, so symmetrica...

Here's a naive/nubie question: How does one get/find the PB data? I use SleepyHead... Thanks for the help. p

What a great product! I use a FF mask, and put it on my lips every night to keep them moist. Great on cuticles, eyebrows -- but I wouldn't use it on my face. If I'm not careful about nighttime cleansing regimen, I will develop acne from the mask straps.

MerMade -- I see you live in North FL, so lack of humidity is not an issue for you -- but if you need moisture for your skin, Lansinoh is wonderful. I use it on my lips and around my nostrils and anything else that can tolerate ointment consistency.

I'd just like to add my thanks as well. Pugsy, I've begun to scan for your posts -- they're always helpful and I feel I can rely on your information. Thank you for all your help and advice; because of you I've learned more here than from my doctor's office. The Talmud says that (and I paraphrase her...

Pugsy -- thanks for the explanation; same thing happens to me! And, may I say, your posts been a god-send--I can't thank you enough for the informations you have provided on this forum! I, too, am a newbie (3 mos on therapy, and your advise and discussions have helped me more than all the RTs and PA...
