RE: dry mouth
It's a solution that works for dry mouth.
The extreme solution is a full face mask. I've tried many ff masks. I'm claustrophobic
I still use a good nasal mask, with a chinstrap or pad I made myself. I've tried taping my lips shut. That works too. However, I wasn't comfortable doing that.
Thanks for your response.

Many have extreme dry mouth with a FFM. I am one of them. As a mouth breather the air blowing in will dry many mouths out. I had dry mouth no matter what mask I tried. I guess we are all different. The Xylimelts do relieve some of the dryness. I bought the Dr. Dakota Eliminator from Amazon for about $25.00 and it helped my apneas & hypopneas and kept me from bending my neck closing of the airways to lessen snoring. Good luck Dave and hope you get a solution that works for you.

I'm in the same boat as you all tho I'm just a week into this. I have yet to get over 3 hour of use and have yet to fall asleep.I either panic or just can't breath and the mask comes off real quick. I'll be trying a nasal this weekend and with the use of a cervical collar. Even if I do exhale through my mouth, if I can at least fall asleep, it'll be worth it,, at least for the short term. I know I'll need a full face to treat my apnea correctly and I also know regardless of the mask choice, I'll need Xylimelts nightly for my dry mouth.
RE: dry mouth
Satfrat, if you feel you can't breathe, is it because your pressure's too low? I thought I would hate the pressure, but came to absolutely LOVE it (with my nasal pillow). Once I had used it at 8 for month, though, I no longer felt that pressure lol (I became accustomed to it) and now I miss it

Have you looked at the hybrid Resmed Mirage Liberty mask?

RE: dry mouth
My DME advised against it. I haven't tried it. Thanks I'll look for it.

Thanks Michael. I'd buy the Eliminator in a heartbeat if I could
RE: dry mouth
DaveL :

2- May I ask you why your DME advise against the Liberty mask?
