I am rarely on the groups because I am usually spending my free time 
volunteering at a local library.

I don't know why you and others who are here don't go to alt.sixtyplus. 
There is more action there (but more to avoid also).

Yes, the CPAP machine helps me breathe at night.  My throat tends to 
cloe down the second I start going to sleep, as my muscles relax.

My confusion re "inhalers" was because I wasn't sure whether the 
terminology is different in other countries--or whether there was 
something by that name that I hadn't heard of.

I think it's helpful to feel young.  My inner age is 16.  In general, I 
don't go around thinking that I'm old, even as I am about to turn 69. 
But then there are those glitches....
