Re: Used dieelectric grease on power adapter connector

I don't believe it's a good idea to use dielectric grease on small pins because it can migrate outward and across receptacles and pins....hard short, and "poof", you'll see the magic smoke come out of your CPAP. I could be wrong, but I would not chance it...personally. Instead, if you can acquire it...

Re: Problem with Sleepyhead

Thanks to both of you. Freetimecreations, I tried what you suggested. Unfortunately, it asked for a password to the new profile name I created. So far, I have uninstalled the programme and its components and data, and tried to install it fresh, to no avail. Not sure where to go from here.

Re: A Question about Pressure

When I first started using my CPAP device, I experimented with the pressure settings because I didn't feel I was getting the results I should have with the amount of effort wearing the equipment required. When my clinician saw that I was "experimenting" with the pressure, she told me that I was tam...

Problem with Sleepyhead

I am being prompted to log in with a password. The first time I used it, three days ago, it didn't require a password and read my SD card. Now I am continually being denied access. There doesn't seem to be a support facility on the site.

Please help.

Coincidence of AFib with AHI/hypopnea

(I confess to not having done a search, but I will as soon as I finish posting this.) Hi, I'm new, both to the disorder and to the forum. Short story, I was on the phone to Canada Revenue Agency this past June and, while the agent went to check on my file, I experienced a heart arrythmia. After mult...

Re: Discouraged...

Yourbrokenoven, I went into AFib this past summer...quite a dismaying shock to a very fit man. My cardiologist, among other tests, prescribed a sleep clinic. Long story short, I have severe apnea (obstructive). But, my sleep was excellent. I dreamt, awoke refreshed, no headaches or irritability...na...

Re: PLEASE HELP TIRED OF BEING TIRED MISERABLE!!

I will be direct in answering you since it's the most ethical way to deal with a man who is apparently in crisis. You can't get a decent seal around your face and keep a beard. Period. I was in the Army in Canada for many years, retiring in my 30th year, and got to know the inside of a gas mask inti...
