Re: Choosing a Battery

I have small back up power thing that runs off a 40ah lifepo4.

Re: Xanax

I went to doctors today because I've been extremely exhausted lately and still waiting on sleep study results. I have been getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep according to Fitbit every night but still exhausted. Dr today prescribed me 0.5 mg Xanax. Won't that just make things worse if I have sleep apnea?...

Inexpensive CPAP?

I just thought I would ask if any of you know where to get or how to find inexpensive auto CPAP machine? It's not for me since I'm good through the VA but I have a co-worker who doesn't have much money and has been diagnosed years ago and gave up early on and got rid of machine. I'm trying to help h...
