Hope JediMark is doing well.

I am also in sleepyhead withdrawal since I got my new ASV DS960.

Looking forward to the next "nightly unstable release".

I have oesophageal reflux problems, so won't be able to keep taking these, but it's given me 2 days in a row now with a reduction in headache. It's given me a new line of investiagtion.

I miss sleeping on my recliner. I used to get so much work done instead of sleeping :}
Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol is funny stuff. It's pretty much completely harmless below the recommended dose. Your body sort of turns acetaminophen into a poison, but your liver immediately eliminates that poison. However, if you take too much, your liver can't keep up and the poison builds up. Wikipedia has a good description.

I'm not nearly as scared of it as I used to be, but I'm always VERY careful not to overdose or take different meds with acetaminophen in them.

As for reflux, I find mine got much better when I increased the minimum pressure on my APAP. Doesn't make much sense, but it works for me.
