IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

Post by Fascinated » Tue Oct 28, 2014 2:44 pm

In the barracks, my fellow Marines would wake me because my snoring kept them awake. In the trenches I had no hope if I fell asleep at night and snored. Everyone wanted to get in the fighting hole with me because I would never go to sleep at night in fear I would give my position away. This meant they could sleep all night. I learned how to walk sleeping, and work standing up sleeping. Later in life mom made me promise to see a doctor. You know how moms are, don't you? Anyway, I took to the C-pap like a calf does Elsie's milk. Then came the dry, infected eyes, nose sores, and chronic inflamed sinuses. Well what could you expect? Years passed while doctors prescribed nose drops, eye drops, and creams loaded with steroids. These prescriptions began to hurt more than help so I turned to YOU TUBE. Old people have big strides, don't you know? My stride started in the early 1940's before penicillin and is still striding out. Back then granny, grandma and mamma were still using Coal oil, Cod liver oil and the such, and since I was the receipient for these torture treatments I could recall some but not all, so I started researching. The first thing I learned was how to get rid of the dry-eye syndrome associated with leaky masks, and in an instant too! This started me looking for a way to protect my nostrils and precious sinus tissues. Over night the Netty Pot; the squeeze bottle; and any prescribed medicines were stopped completely. Hummm, I wonder what the ancients used... It just so happens a four Volume Medical Encyclopedia was willed to me using some of these ancient treatments. Am I one happy C-pap user now. I have only used this treatment once to rid myself of all the C-pap side effects. Fascinated. Just fascinated!

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Well maybe I'm just cynical but to me the OP's post reads like a setup for an advertising pitch...

I must be missing something--probably the deleted link to a commercial.
No doubt!
