Re: CPAP does not seem to help - Dry mouth
Scooter133 you have my sympathy. After two years you should be free of such discomfort. In my experience this always involves open mouth. With my soft Dreamweaver mask which does not cover the mouth, this is always a problem if the jaw strap is not effective, and it rarely is. The air enters your no...

Re: Are there many on 17+ pressure?
I can't find a place to ask questions about my ResMed S9 Auto but I do have experience with such high pressures. I think they are a recipe for disaster. In fact I have gone to the other extreme of using the lowest pressure that does the job, this, mainly because having the machine breathe for you al...

Re: OT: ketogenic diet?
My six year old son with uncontrollable epileptic seizures was placed on a ketogenic diet for its ability to totally control seizures. It did, it reduced them from 70 a day to none.

The Sleepweavers I have ...

Re: Efficacy of Cervical Collar for Keeping Jaw Closed?
Slightly off topic since I've tried and discarded both the strap and the collar in preference to using the full face Quattro FX for the very reason that, properly adjusted, it keeps the mouth closed. I'd suggest it is not possible to adjust the mask properly if you are wearing it. In order to ensure...

Re: Can CPAP Affect Singing?
I'm sorry for my belated input but this is a serious problem for those who are serious singers. I need to offer some technical specifics to ensure we are on the same wave-length. I am an operatic tenor who uses flow phonation and does not allow my vocal technique into pressed phonation which is pote...
