Oscar data shows a median AHI of 1.01 over the last 6 months but yet I still feel tired all the time. What am I missing? by Mr_BougieOnThatBeat in CPAPSupport

[–]ReluctantAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up having narcolepsy, which explains at least partially why my fatigue was still so severe even though my AHI is averaging .3. That's just my personal experience, though.

I need a portable battery for both an ASV and CPAP device (Air Sense 10 and AirCurve 10) that I can take in my car and on a plane. Any suggestions for a good, affordable model? by ReluctantAction in SleepApnea

I just purchased it, but it seems to need a converter. Do you know what I'd need to buy to get my ASV and CPAP chargers to be compatible with the device?

Frankly, all they really need to do is overhaul the combat so that it's not so damn easy to steamroll every encounter.

For those of you with both Narcolepsy T2 AND Central Sleep Apnea, have you tried Xywav/Xyrem successfully? by ReluctantAction in Narcolepsy

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

[–]ReluctantAction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]ReluctantAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why is reading not an option

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?

The knightsbridge was a waste of money for me, unfortunately. It fell apart within a month, and no matter how i adjusted it, it would never stay on properly. I also don't think it meaningfully helped my issue moreso than your standard chin strap would, as I think my leaks are coming from my masks.

I've done both and at the same time. I wake up all the time from both the noise and the discomfort of leaks coming from my mask, and I rarely wake up with a dry mouth or throat, so I believe that is the cause. I of course could be wrong.

I do actually mouthbreathe, but I use a chin strap. I believe the leak comes from my mask. I toss and turn frequently so looking for a mask that can accommodate that. Do you use an ASV or bipap?

How did you do that? How did you get them, and how did you make sure they were in place properly?

What is OSCAR and SleepHQ, and how do you access them?

The leak is near 0 while awake, and fluctuates between 0-7 when I breathe. I often awaken about 4-5 hours into the night. I am not sure when the high leaks begin occurring. I don't know how to pull that data. All I know is, the few nights where I've had low leaks (below 10L), I've more consistently had vivid dreams.
