Re: Weight loss drug trial claiming to reduce Sleep Apnea. Hmmm?
Last year I got hearing aids. When I first got them it was so incredible to realize just how crappy my hearing had been before, I truly had no idea what I was missing out on. CPAP feels the same for me. When I fall asleep without the mask on and wake up in a sweat, recalling vivid dreams, it reminds...

Weight loss drug trial claiming to reduce Sleep Apnea. Hmmm?
I am a faithful cpaper so it doesn't affect me. Even if this drug works I won't be taking it, but it does offer hope for those who might feel otherwise. This Eli Lilly study *sounds* impressive if true. "The researchers found that after 52 weeks, Zepbound had led to an average reduction of 27.4 even...

Resmed Aircurve 10 VAuto using in CPAP mode
HI folks, I bought a Resmed AirCurve 10 VAuto at a garage sale this morning. Primarily as a back up machine in case of emergency. I assume I can use it as a straight CPAP without issue ? I have set it up and it seems just fine. I will use it tonight and see how it goes. Couldn't pass it by for $25. ...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please
Great news for those of us vaccinated with two doses of mRNA. The vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna set off a persistent immune reaction in the body that may protect against the coronavirus for years, scientists reported on Monday (6/28/2021). The findings add to growing evidence that mo...

I am hoping to see more studies and data on how robust and long lasting the immunity is from heterologous AstraZeneca and mRNA vaccinations. My husband got these two, as did many, many Canadians (AZ followed by Moderna or Pfizer).

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?
I got my first shot yesterday afternoon. Moderna. Very sore arm overnight and it is pretty sore now. I don't care I am so happy to have had my first dose I could just dance! Our schedule is 16 weeks to the next one, so I am booked for August 16. for my second shot. A few months ago I thought we woul...

My husband had his first AstraZeneca jab at our local pharmacy yesterday morning. He is feeling mildly run down this morning but otherwise just fine.

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?
Finally, finally getting first shot Tues... and it's Pfizer! Been wondering if some have bait 'n switches - really giving you A. Zeneca, but now don't believe that'll happen - you need to know what you're getting so don't run into trouble with 2nd one (they still don't really know how mixing can af...

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?
Here in Ottawa people over 90 living in the community are now able to sign up for their first vaccination later this week. Very good news for our vulnerable elders. Also, the second dose has been delayed to 4 months so we can get more people vaccinated with the very limited number of vaccines curren...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please
Sadly my Uncle passed away from Covid 19 pneumonia in South Africa this morning. It is almost unbelievable that he died exactly 28 days after my mom (his sister). He stated quite clearly he never wanted to be put on a ventilator and so there were no more options as his condition deteriorated over th...

Arlene, on TWiV Episode 700 (12/30), Vincent admits the SA variant did not disappear. He brushed off his mistake by saying we didn't have the evidence. Thanks CG. I watched the full episode last night, I have to admit I really enjoy this podcast a lot. I could never have imagined myself last year t...

Hi CG, The first link provided clearly discusses Covid 19, I am not sure what you are referring to about HIV? As to the other point you make, If the South African Minister of Health is making incorrect claims about the extent of South African genomic tracking, then I am rather leery of his other cla...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please
Especially so since SA (and the US) does little tracking at the variant level. I will look for more discussion soon in the podcast. On the contrary, South Africa been very active in tracking Covid 19 at the variant level. https://www.krisp.org.za/ Also, according to South African Health Minister Zw...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please
For example a cousin of mine who lives in the UK flew to the Eastern Cape this past weekend, hours before the flights were grounded. Sigh. Just heard that my Uncle and his wife in South Africa have both now got Covid19. My cousin (who is their son) from the UK has to stay away from them. I am not a...
