None.

Well, apparently I don't drool in my sleep anymore. Not that it bothered me to wake up in a puddle of drool, but it did seem to bother my bed partners.

According to Encore Pro, I snore just as much.

I don't seem to suffer so much from nasal congestion. I've even learned to be a day-time nose breather, after being a lifelong drooly mouth breather.

But I get just as many flu-type illnesses.

And I'm still a royal bitch.

Cheers,
Babs

I currently have a stash of Nasal Aire II cannulas in Small or Extra Small. Please PM me if you would like them. I'm interested in bartering for something strange and wonderful that I don't currently own. Or a Large size NAII cannula. :)

The headaches went away, and my coping skills returned (somewhat ). People at work seem to feel a little less leery to be around me since I don't snap at the drop of a hat anymore. I feel a little better, but I'm still dealing with tiredness. If watch any TV at night, I fall asleep every time. Sometimes I will sleep for 2 hours while the TV is on, then I will get up and go to bed. I've been on the hose for 14 months.
