Re: OT: Facebook Privacy Hoax - AGAIN

As if another reason not to use Facebook was needed.... Oh gosh, FB has been a wonderful thing in my life since I retired. Many of my HS classmates were starting to retire and I did not know how to get in touch with them. FB opened them all up to me. I live about a 90-minute drive from my hometown ...

Re: CPAP Devices

We have created a device to be used intraorally as a mouth piece that moves the bottom jaw in a forward position, which opens the back of the throat, allowing more air to enter the lungs (similar to the Tap 3). CPAP works fine for me. The oral device (TAP 3) is more difficult to tolerate than CPAP....

Re: CPAP Devices

In my case, the dentist had been trained to take the molds, to adjust for fit and proper mandibular advancement, and to construct the device himself in-house. That is an inefficient way to do it. Safe to assume this was an elderly dentist that learned this 30 years ago? My dentist has a girl that m...

Re: How the Feds Made the Country Fat

Mentioning that buddy made me think of another thing. He swears by a bread that is named after a Bible verse. Anyone know what that is about?

Don't forget almond oil and walnut oil. Then there's grapeseed oil - a buddy pops popcorn in grapeseed oil and swears it is delicious and more healthy. (But I guess you won't eat popcorn.)

Re: when to rule out sleep apnea as a cause for nocturia?

Denial Dave wrote:getting back to the original OP question

How about when the medical test results tell you that sleep apnea is not your cause for nocturia ?
What test shows that?

Re: MyAir.com -- PissedMeOff.com more like it...

Criminals don't need to see your Facebook profile to commit their deeds. As the use of social media has expanded widely over the last ten years, crime has dramatically decreased in the U.S. I am not saying there is a cause-and-effect relationship. But there is no indication that the use of social m...

Re: FDA CPAP Mask RX-only Enforcement Poll

I doubt if there is any hope to repeal the law
There is no law to be repealed. CPAP is just on an FDA list and the FDA could easily take it off.

Re: Aspirin Therapy

For over ten years I've been consuming one to three tablets a day of "mini-dose" (81 mg.) enteric coated Bayer® aspirin based upon many studies. No problems. No side effects. No easy bleeding. No occult bleeding. Have been convinced that for me the benefit outweighs the risks.

Re: How much does drinking alcohol affect apnea?

I was marooned in the jungle once with only food, water and CPAP. Terrible experience.
