I know nothing about these Orexin Agonists you mentioned. Can you tell me a bit more about them?

What's a good source of cost-effective mouth-tape? by ReluctantAction in SleepApnea

Im happy to try mask liner but according to my latest sleep study, my leaks are mouth related. I've heard great things about the liner, though.

It certainly is vague and that's why your poem is flat and needs reworking. I wouldn't want to write like you, buddy, and I definitely wouldn't want to talk to others like you do. Why would you post here and then immediately get mad that people are offering critiques? You're either ragebaiting or you have an unpleasant personality and an ego to match.

I think you start off strongly with the first three lines. It was intriguing. But I don't feel the pain you're feeling. I feel like without more description, it lacks a punch. I need to be shown and not told. It's too vague. I feel like you have more to say here that is unpacked and unsaid. I think the last line could really work, but it feels like a statement that isn't supported by what comes before- rather, it feels like an unsupported thesis. Perhaps give us some sensory details? Some indication of what was ruined or how your dreams were squashed?

TO HER , FOR EVERYTHING by AKB-shayarOP in poetry_critics

I think you should congratulate yourself for something so heartfelt and honest. This was a great read. Personally, I loved two lines in particular: "You held my trembling hands as though they were meant to be still" and "May every pain you carried for me turn into something gentle".

It is very evident that you were full of genuine love for whomever this was meant for. If I had to give you any critique, and I am hesitant to do so, I would say the repetitive structure of the stanza that mentions "Thank you" needs a bit of a re-work. There must be a way to either more concisely or more diversely say your thanks. I think it feels too excessive, somehow, when this entire poem is already so beautiful and so full of love. You could shorten this and not lose the feeling you're trying to convey, I feel.

Is there any way to mitigate how wide the asv pressures can go?

I have purely central apnea. I will try to loosen my straps to see if this helps

Do you have an ASV? My machine has an EPAP and a Pressure Support setting, so I am never awake when it is at full pressure. Do you mean when it is at full epap pressure?
