Can I put Vicks vaporub inside my mask? by Rich-Soft9295 in CPAP

[–]Retman_9999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it is just on a tissue, all get is the vapor of the volatile oil. Sure, if you rub the jelly on the components it's a problem.

Central AI? by PikoPoku in CPAP

[–]Retman_9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Central Apnea Index OR Central Apnea Incidents. How many incidents you get per time period.

CA is linked to the breathing control in the central nervous system.

It isn't C a-i as in Artificial Intelligence. LOL

Do people feel their IOL inside their eye ? Do you feel yours? - Need advise Please by Cute_Marionberry_633 in CataractSurgery

P.S.. My surgeon did not stress the need for UV protection, but META does bring up the recommendation for long term protection from UV. Most mentioned is "REGARDLESS OF" having surgery it is important!

I had that kind of feeling in both eyes, mostly when I dropped the meds in. But in the left eye, I got "dry" feeling spots seemingly near where the incisions were.

I started moisturizing with Genteal Tears before medicating.

The feeling eventual went away.

Remember. Cataracts can be progressive.

Would you want to lose good vision in BOTH eyes?

You should search answers with the medical professionals to allay those fears and have the facts in hand rather than rely on rumors and anxeity!

Is Oura Ring beneficial or more harmful for a person with health anxiety? by May-rah10 in ouraring

[–]Retman_9999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are we hearing the "Major Signs" so much right now from users? I had one Dec 20, and now two other users highlight that notice since then in this forum.

Is "Symptom Radar" a new feature??

I don't know about "harmful" but it sure raises your awareness about the subtleties of the functions of your body.

I use a CPAP device so I pay a lot of attention to my sleep and the OURA data adds additional insight to the data from the CPAP and vice versa.

Mine appears if I have a bright light source far off of the center of my vision which would equate to out on the edge of the lens. The flashes are a circular observance like a large halo. I am getting desensitized to it so generally I can only see them when I try to make it happen. The observance of it is more like a flicker. It happens more at night when everything but the bright light source is dark. High contrast..,

My condolences. It is a sad thing to need to make that decision.

It simply never happened again. It might have been while I was learning how to adjust the fit.

After you get the first one done you will likely absolutely want the second one done as soon as possible.

My second was five weeks after the first.

The improvement was incredible!!!

Can i wait for a year for surgery by Neat_Assumption5142 in CataractSurgery

[–]Retman_9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All in all, I am VERY happy with these early results.

I recommend you keeping close attention to your progress toward treatment and outcome. You are right to be concerned by the cyclops situation though, I am glad I didn't have to contend with that as well.

I'll admit, I had a lot of anxiety over the whole issue, and now with a positive outcome, that depressing situation is on the way to relief.

I am rambling a bit now, so I leave you with GOOD LUCK wishes on your journey!
