Re: loose teeth

My wife has periodontal issues; we are heavily invested in dentistry. If I had those issues, I would certainly try to make nasal pillows work.

Re: CPAP air supply for woodworking

On the few occasions when I've had to protect my lungs beyond what I trust a respirator for, I've used my boat hull-cleaning setup -- an air compressor taken from an oxygen concentrator and a Brownie's Third Lung regulator. For underwater use, this setup gives scuba people the screaming willies, but...

Re: First night without power Uggghhh

Yes, I meant like the eu2000i. I have a couple of them, and besides the normal hours-long runs for thunderstorm outages here, I ran them round-the-clock for a couple of weeks straight after Hurricane Irma. But they're expensive, and I've seen some much cheaper knockoffs lately. I've run AGMs with so...

Re: First night without power Uggghhh

If this happens a lot, another thing to consider is a small inverter generator. They've been coming way down in price.

Re: First night without power Uggghhh

I use a generator when the power goes out, but isn't the Dreamstation 12V? For just a night, a lead-acid battery would be cheap. You could keep it float-charged on the balcony/porch.

Re: Gabapentin/Neurontin

I was prescribed Gabapentin for a good long time for neuropathy. I didn't notice any change in my sleep. But, as they say, "Look, a whole data point!" As far as Gabapentin being used to address sleep problems due to alcoholism, I remember that it was being investigated for the possibility that it co...
