Re: Cpap.com Offers a Home Sleep Test

My husband and I just did the home sleep test through CPAP.com, and we were very satisfied with the process. Now, I'll qualify that with a disclaimer: We've been on CPAP therapy for 10 years, and were originally diagnosed through the overnight sleep test where we went to the sleep center, got goo-ed...

Re: Non-mouth breather suddenly has dry mouth with new APAP

I've just been through three great nights of sleep with my machine in CPAP mode (bless you for that suggestion, ChicagoGranny!). So I wanted to ask one more question, to get your opinions. I realize I probably paid more for the APAP machine than I would have for a straight CPAP machine, but if it's ...

Re: Non-mouth breather suddenly has dry mouth with new APAP

@Julie, I did use the humidifier, on 5, and I will try upping the lower number instead and see if anything changes. I'll also look at that Oscar sticky. @WanderingWolf, I'm dreading having to use a chin strap, too. I don't want to tape my mouth because I'm allergic to most bandage glue and even pape...

Non-mouth breather suddenly has dry mouth with new APAP

For 10 years I used a ResMed S9 CPAP machine – the last three years without a humidifier, after I dropped the machine and that part stopped working. For all that time I never had an issue with mouth-breathing, and my mouth was very rarely dry, even during those last three years. I used my CPAP at 7....
