no doesn't work for the jaw. I use a soft cervical collar to help with that.

Ok maybe ill strap on the Eliminator. I just got the Airwaav today, any special tips/info based on your experience to get a good fit? Did you use the microwave method or the boil method?

the airwaav is what I use. works a treat. Im glad to hear. Does it keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth and from falling back? Does it keep your jaw from falling back as well? Im starting to think my tongue is the main culprit in my sleep apnea, if I could get it under control I can make CPAP...

Im hoping the AirWaav device works better for this but I am going to try this for now while it gets here

I figure if I just squirt some towards the front and middle part of my tongue and just push it to the roof of my mouth before it leaks into my throat, I should be fine.

I have tried the F20 with memory foam and without, Vitera, Dreamwear hybrid full face, Evora hybrid full face, Simplus.

Hey all, chipmunk cheeks have been a nightmare to deal with and has been the main obstacle in treating my sleep apnea. Chipmunk cheeks happen because my tongue falls from the roof of my mouth as I fall asleep. I just got an idea. I am going to try to glue my tongue to the roof of my mouth tonight wi...

According to a certain cpap youtube personality, theres an outage for the Myair app. I would recommend using OSCAR for data instead, its much more detailed!

Haha I see. Yea i mean i can prevent the air coming into my mouth with the tongue on the roof of my mouth while im awake but the issue arises when i start dozing off to sleep and my tongue just drops down. Ive been trying to leave my tongue there throughout the day so hopefully one day my body gets ...

Ah ok, dont worry about it i was at work all day today as well. So initially you werent doing this to prevent chipmunk cheeks but found that it actually worked for that too? Ive been trying to transition to using nasal masks because my F20 that i was using has been aggravating my tmj. The only thing...

Hey zonker, I saw your picture on a recent post and didnt want to hijack the thread. Just had a couple questions for you if u dont mind. I dont know if its an old pic but do you still use 2 scuncis to prevent chipmunk cheeks? What pressure do you use? Has wearing the scuncis over time caused any tmj...

For dry mouth, I use Oracoat Xylimelts. I got mine from Amazon. You can stick one of them on your gum and they lubricate your mouth throughout the night.

First night i slept with one of these devices my jaw was already popping and clicking afterwards, so i just went with CPAP. They can work but just be careful with these things.

The research paper on nose restriction is at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29105874/.

Thanks brother. I slept with my O2 ring last night with my nasal pillows and O2 readings were normal. Hmm

I had another question for you folks and didnt want to take up too much room starting a new thread. When im looking at my flow chart, i zoomed in and saw that before almost every CA event or OA event, my flow became flat right before it was marked, what does that mean?. Ideally a normal flow chart s...

You might also ask yourself whether something unrelated to sleep breathing is causing your daytime tiredness. Has your regular doctor run any tests (e.g., thyroid, autoimmune, iron, testosterone if you're a man)? Well i did do alot of blood tests maybe about a year ago for my frequent urination as ...

Good evening ladies and gents. Im fairly new here and have posted a few of my charts already and the consensus seems to be that my readings are fairly good. Now that ive been sleeping with my cpap, it seems im even more tired than before and find myself taking extra naps and just feeling worse in te...
