but a whopping 15% for a box of Mouth Tape?
A box of tape couldn't cost much. Send me your Venmo info and I'll send you the 15%.

Exhale Flow Rate Peak - EPR vs. No EPR

My exhale flow peaks at -50 approximately on the OSCAR chart when my EPR is set to 3. When EPR is off, it peaks at -35 approximately.

Why? Is one better than the other?

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please

For those who have had boosters, did you have side effects? Was it any different this time around? I am a Pfizer trial volunteer. I got a third dose 11 months after my second dose. I had a very low fever (100F) for three days after the third dose. I didn't feel particularly bad, but I did hang arou...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please

And that's exactly my point - at the time, that doctor had not way of knowing that saline was used as a placebo. You are easy to figure out. You are just pulling things out of your butt when you have no knowledge of what you are talking about. Pfizer kept no secrets that the placebo was a saline so...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please

The confirmation of the assumption that what you had administered during the study ended up being the real vaccine does not in any way affirm your doctor's speculation - because that's all it was. My statement refers to the fact that your reaction to the shot could not be an indication that what yo...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please

I question his doctor's "99%" assessment. A good doc knows to play along. "Oh, yeeeees. I'm absolutely suuuuuuure you got the vaccine, sir." :wink: Let's just hope Seth didn't read any further in this thread. After all, as of this writing, there is no scientifically validated way to repair a busted...

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?

I reported in another thread that I had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine last August in their trial. Pfizer has announced a trial of a third dose as a booster. They will measure participants' antibody titers before the third dose and then at some period after the third dose. The idea is to see how m...

Excited here! I was accepted in the Pfizer mRNA Phase 3 vaccine trial. I'll get my first shot Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed that they give me the vaccine and not the placebo! https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-choose-lead-mrna-vaccine-candidat...

as i've said before, me and the "missus" are both introverts, despite my behavior here. it wouldn't bother us to stay in place as long as it would take. but it would drive other people nuts. Your wife and you are lucky. Social isolation may kill me before COVID-19 does. We are doing weekly quick gr...

Re: Is this the machine or the transformer?

Yeah, as soon as I saw the problem, I checked all the connections, and they seem solid.

So, you think the problem is more likely the transformer than the machine? I really want to avoid having two nights in a row like last night.

Is this the machine or the transformer?

I didn't get up last night, and I didn't turn the machine off once. In all my years, this has never happened. The machine and transformer are six years old. Is there a way to test the system at home? I have a spare transformer I could use tonight if you think it is the transformer. If not, I have to...
