Looking For A Backup Machine
I'm looking for a backup ResMed S9 or S10 cpap machine for my son. A brick would be fine. Does anyone have one in good shape they would like to sell?

Re: Having an extremely dry mouth is a sign of mouth breathing?
I suffer from a recirculation problem, in that, when I relax, air enters my nasal pillows and a small amount comes OUT my mouth, drying it out. It wakes me up about every two or three hours, desperately needing a drink of water! I solved this problem with Biotene, a gel that coats the mouth keeping ...

Dry Mouth Gone!
I am not a mouth breather. However, for years I have suffered with dry mouth. I've tried all kinds of masks trying to solve my uncomfortable problem; several different types of ResMed, F&P, both partial and full face. Most recently, I obtained a Dreamwear full face, which was much better, but still ...

Re: Dry throat
I suggest you are opening your mouth and the air is drying out your mouth. I don't think humidity, Biotene or lozenges will do any good. Try a good chinstrap. like Ruby Red.

Full Face Masks and Headgear
I am a 24 year cpap user and have used almost every mask there is. I have been using a Swift II Mirage Nasal Pillow mask for a long time, like 10 years or so. For some time, I have recirculated air resulting in severe dry mouth that would wake me up several times a night. I thought a full face mask ...

Re: Full Face Mask
I'm a 22 year cpap wearer and have tried chin straps, head straps and have taped. Keeping my mouth shut doesn't work. The air bubbles up and fills my mouth until my cheeks pooch out. I have an appointment with a sleep doctor in April, as soon as he could see me. If anyone else has had any success wi...

Full Face Mask
I use a Swift II nasal pillow mask. I recirculate air out my mouth once I go to sleep and my throat relaxes. I wake up every couple of hours and have to have a drink, my mouth is so dry. Would a full face mask help? Thanks very much.

Re: Recirculation
I'm searching for something that solves my problem, which is recirculation and dry mouth. It seem to me that a full face mask would insure therapy but would even exacerbate dry mouth.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Re: Recirculation
I'm interested to know how a full face mask would help. I'd be happy to change to a full face if someone could explain to me how this might eliminate recirculation. I found an old thread about this, but no suggestions. I use an A10 auto normally running around 10.

Recirculation
I use a Swift II nasal pillow mask. I wake up every couple of hours with extreme dry mouth. I caught myself almost falling asleep with air coming in my nose and recirculating out my mouth. I tried taping my mouth shut and it worked but was a real pain. I think the cause is the relaxation in the back...

Free S8 Lightweight
I have a Resmed S8 with humidifier and an extra S8 without humidifier with hose. Both work great. They're presently set on 10, I think. I used them for my backup until I got my new S10 the other day. Is anyone interested in this equipment for a backup? I hate to throw them away and don't want to mes...
