Re: Husband help!

You can’t reason with any Male In Mule Mode, no matter the cause. You’ve gone over and over the critical aspects of this condition and therapy and he still doesn’t respond appropriately. All you can do now for him is downshift to the Lowest Common Denominator (in mathematics - remember?) In a calm, ...

Re: Anyone try to make their own homemade Remzzzs?

YES! and I'd recommend everyone use them - easy to make, zero cost if using something on hand, and with the liner, wearing the mask is instantly SOOOOOO much more pleasant & comfortable - no more "something foreign and siliconey is creating a suctiony perspirary augh" sensation. And leaks become a r...

Re: Zyrtec causes acid reflux?

Katie, can you try taking your daily Zyrtec in the morning or midday instead of at bedtime to see if that might negate the reflux? If it turns out you have to try several of the antiihistimes and still continue with the problem, perhaps you could go to a topical (Rx or OTC nasal spray antihistime) r...

Re: Mirage Quattro FFM

SleepyBobR am using my Quattro full time now, with my S8 II in (cpap mode for daily use), @ pressure 13.4 with zero leaks (and was up to a pressure of 14 at one point with no leaks as well.) However, the ZERO leaks came after I added the trick learned from our fab forum here think it was Rested Gal....

Re: Proudly in possession of a ResMed S8 AutoSet II

I also have the S8 AutoSet II, and just love it. Congratulations on getting the cpap you want! I'm wondering why you say that? ref.

Re: Which is the quietest mask?

Sleepbaby, my vote for a quiet mask would go for the Respironics ComfortGel. As to rainout; make sure your cpap machine is lower than your sleeping level AND you are either going to need to cover the entire length of your hose in an insulating manner (either purchase something ready-made, or use a h...

Re: How can an eBay seller legally offer Resmed 3.7 software ?

I ordered the software from Australia for $107 USD total delivered cost. Before that I checked out the ebay offer and thinking it too good to be true asked the seller a couple of questions. The seller answered one question, but did not if the software was legal. I asked myself one question; is just...

Re: How can an eBay seller legally offer Resmed 3.7 software ?

Don't you guys know about torrents? I sure don't. The only thing I know about torrents is I've heard of them. The work-around is to buy a DVD made by someone else, or just download the torrent. This is the part that seems to be unlawful (I'm torrent illiterate as is obvious!) The Ebay offer is for ...

Re: How can an eBay seller legally offer Resmed 3.7 software ?

If you "own" it (original software and bought it legally) and it's not installed on your computer, you can sell it for whatever you want to.
Amazing!
I agree, this situation smells a little fishy.
And they are BIG fish!


Thanks Den.

Re: How can an eBay seller legally offer Resmed 3.7 software ?

cinco 777, it appears the seller has good feedback, but more my question is how can someone legally sell software for $2.95 which is the proprietary right of a manufacturer and which sells for much more money?
