It is possible to get off CPAP - myth or not?

sure you don't need a chinstrap?
re did a sleep study last nite and figured out that i definitely need a chinstrap. you are probably opening your mouth in your sleep.. look into a chinstrap if you dont use one. no more dry mouth and better sleep, more REM!!! good luck ps. i love both swift and activa! with a good chinstrap of course
