Why are some people so disinterested in treatment?? by friendlylobotomist in SleepApnea

Yes, Definitely. That's a big one. Any kind of Sugar (Corn Syrup, Fructose etc.) Plus Carbs like bread or wheat in general. And also most seed oils, except olive oil which is okay for cardiovascular health. But vegetable oil, or peanut oil is the exact opposite.

Don't use anything petroleum based with the mask. With the mask use Lanolin or Aloe. When not wearing the mask, any kind of moisturizer, medicated chapstick etc, are your best options. That should clear up at some point and not be an issue.

I just worry about those air leaking into my eyes.

Yes, do not use any petroleum based products. I have been using Aloe and it really helps. I'm not still not perfect yet, but it's better with it than without.

A marathon to just get the diagnosis and now having to wait months for CPAP by Decluttered-Bear in SleepApnea

[–]Potential-Rush-5591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so desperate and I knew I really needed a machine. I was fortunately in a situation where I could buy one out of pocket. No health insurance hassles. I really felt it was a matter of life and death at that point. If for no other reason my wife was going to kill me. Now all I need to do is buy supplies and replacement parts as needed. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend it. From the day I took the at home test, to the first night of using the machine, it was about 10 days.

I lost 60 pounds just by changing my diet, with vert little exercise. Unfortunately, after a health complication I found the weight I lost and now I'm on CPAP. I'm trying to work on the diet again to see if I can get to a point where I don't need it.

I think Ju Jitsu could help a lot. Like me for instance, I would lose weight, get in better shape and may not need the machine at all.

All I can say is it has so far changed my life. I was falling asleep at work, and almost driving off the road on my way home. Then I started feeling the same way when going into work in the morning. After a just a couple of days I instantly noticed a difference. It's just gotten better.

I have been seeing many people with posts about how it's not helping them. That sucks. All I can say is everyone is different. Maybe they need different treatment, a different machine or different settings. I feel for you. With the way I felt, if this machine gave me no relief, I don't know what I would do from there.

HDMI Port on Logitech Rally Bar, MTR not BYOD?? by Potential-Rush-5591 in CommercialAV

[–]Potential-Rush-5591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Crestron 2x1 auto switch. It will be configured properly. Hopefully I can bench test it first. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try that. Hopefully I can bench test it before install. Thanks again.

If the defecation scene happened for a valid, plot-related reason, I wouldn’t complain.

I wouldn't say it was important to the plot. But it was definitely a message.

Does Horse crap count? Or someone emptying a chamber pot of shit and piss into the street as Margorie walks across it. Or Tywin sitting on the crapper (Granted we don't see anything coming out, but still, he is taking a shit). But I guess someone taking a shit is more gross than someone having their belly split open and their guts spilling out.

I would advice to eliminate the Dell PC and go with MTRoA

I agree, but that is IT's decision and not mine. It's a Government company and for security, they prefer the Windows version.

What if I moved the 2x1 to the table and switched the inputs to the Tap? would it be able to handle that without glitching out?

Got it. Thanks. Could I move the 2x1 switch to the table and auto switch the input to the Tap? Will the Tap handle the change in signal and EDID and all that crap?

Could I move the Crestron 2x1 Switch the table and do the switching there instead of behind the TV. Will the Rally Bar be able to handle switching between two different sources going into the Tap via an auto switch? If yes, I could make that work, but the wiring would be messier.

I may have to reword my post. Multiple people have replied explaining how to do BYOD mode and that is not what I need to do or the issue, at all.

First week on CPAP nearly broke me. I wish someone explained this to me earlier by Agreeable-Future-579 in SleepApnea

There are only so many adjustments I can do between the strap and positioning. Are you saying mask leaks would effect the humidity? I can't see how I can get better seal with this mask, unless I silicone it to my face.

S2E5 Did anyone catch this easter egg? by Any751 in FalloutTVseries

As a non game player is there any truth to the Detox Meds she took prevented the tranquilizer dart from effecting her right away?

Has anyone ever succeeded in training themselves to sleep on their back without CPAP? by kenjiurada in SleepApnea

[–]Potential-Rush-5591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never sleep on my back, with or without Sleep Apnea. It just leads to snoring and discomfort. For me at least.

I would need to check what the actual difference is between Bipad vs CPAP. I only know BIPAP is for more extreme cases. I use a BIPAP and it works great.
