  • When I had my S9 normal bipap I used to use Sleepyhead and also the official Resmed software that only the DME’s had access to, to modify my settings. Once I had my machine I never went back for follow-up appointments, I managed things myself. When I got my new machine, I had my sleep doctor specify an Auto machine because I wanted to fiddle with things less. I knew what pressures worked best for me, but I wanted a machine that would increase the pressure if needed.

    My pressure is already high enough that there’s only a couple masks that I can clamp down to my face enough to go leak free. For the past 8 years I’ve used a Resmed Mirage Quattro and I keep a supply of new headgear handy for when I eventually wear them out.

    Sucks I had to get to 40 before doctors figured out what was wrong with me. I’ve lost more weight this year then in my whole life combined including the year I got put on Ozempic. But still I have days where my AHI is through the roof. So many things are getting better for me health wise but I still have so many sleep issues.


  • My first sleep study was 3 hours, then they got scared and woke me up and sent me home.

    Turns out I had very severe sleep apnea.

    My second sleep test was a trial using CPAP, that lasted 2 hours before they swapped in a BiPap and a full face mask. Slept like a baby after that.

    My wife has mild sleep apnea, her pressure is 6, my pressure is 22. It wasn’t until I got an Auto BiPap, that adjusts between 20-25 that my sleep really got better.


  • My wife reads click bait articles all the time, and thinks diabetes can be cured. And is always quick to tell me that if i did this fad diet, or ate that diabetes curing food I would be right as rain.

    Thanks to Ozempic I’ve had it under control for 3 years. And it’s not easy, the Ozempic benefits go away after a while. So you need to make the most out of the weight loss. Unfortunately, I went undiagnosed for too long and the nerve damage has been done and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I knew 20 years ago that I was on an express train to diabetes town, but depression and anxiety caused by yet another undiagnosed condition made me not care.





  • My guess is you don’t have a diesel vehicle or heat with furnace oil because let me tell you, what I get back doesn’t even come close to how much I’m spending. It’s a joke, now think of all the farmers, transport companies, they’re getting a fraction of what they’re spending on fuel , and all of that gets passed down the line. There’s a reason the Maritimes got a break on the carbon tax, it’s made heating with oil very expensive. And Diesel is taxed higher than that.

    If you don’t think the cost of goods went up when it cost more to produce the food, and ship the food…







  • Looks like ChatGPT trained their models better, probably before sites could take measures to prevent that. Gemini however was thrown together by throwing money and people at the problem in order to catch up and not be left behind. Which from what I’ve read seems to be their biggest fear.

    My Pixel 9 has AI everywhere but I certainly wouldn’t pay the price they want to continue “using” Gemini after my trial.

    Glycinate or Citrate will do the most for you sleep wise. Pills are dirt cheap, or if you want some flavor you can buy Natural Calm. It’s just flavored magnesium citrate.

    Pills are 200mg per pill, I have alot of sleep issues I usually take 4 pills. 2 if each type and sleep like a baby. But some people can’t handle the magnesium and it causes diarrhea
