Yeh no fun there.

Using one month and “then “ started drying out. Why drying out

Or your tongue welded to the roof of your mouth.

My throat stuck together, closed. I woke up in a fight-for-life panic. Holy moly. It's gotten a lot better now but yikes. I use mouth tape now.

Same here .@@sharondavis3515

Great info!! Thank you.

I've had mine for 8 years havent made it one whole night with it on. It's about the most useless piece of equipment in my house

@@CPAPmyway How do I get desalinated water for your resmed10 humidifier? How & where do I get it?

@@susanenz3400 there two really good youtube channels that cover details of CPAP use that will help you optimize your machine for you. Also some excellent software that will allow you to see your sleep data, if your machine allows an SD card.

@@TheMightsparrow i use distilled water. Baby section of Walmart, but a lot of grocery stores carry it. Also tap water can be used. You just need to soak humidifier in vinegar when you get mineral build up. Once a week worked for me. But got lazy and went back to distilled water.

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!

Happy to help.

My dry mouth was so bad I stopped using the c pap for months , started back yesterday because I was always tired or sleepy I live alone thought I'd start back dry mouth and all ,no one to wake me up any more. So now I'm going to order a full face again.thanks for the help.

Thank you!

I am glad to hear that we could help.

Glad we could help.

Glad that it was helpful.

You are welcome. Maybe you should check out our info page on full face masks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7Z1ndqbusXceas.html

Xylimelts are wonderful for me. Was skeptical but has worked for me💜

Glad you found it helpful!!

@@CPAPmyway I have an AirSense 10 and I'm using a full face mask. I have the humidity set to maximum (8). I wake up several times a night due to dry mouth. I have heated tubing, but I'm not sure what temperature to set it at. Can you give me some advice?

Good luck. In some cases we do have customers that have to refill the humidifier reservoir in the middle of the night. Which is no fun, but is an option. Room humidifier may be a better option to start with.

I actually reduced my pressure, and dry mouth better.

@@CPAPmyway ok

@@CPAPmyway I’m getting a severe dry mouth using a full face. 🙄

@@mercurym-7904 really I thought would help

Thanks for the input.

Good luck. Thanks for watching.

BFE Montana sounds awesome. Good luck with the humidity.

Awesome. Good Luck!

Thanks for watching and for the input. Good Luck!

I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes it all just isn't quite enough.

Same for me!

Thanks for the tip!

Interesting. Thank you for the input.

Which neck brace did you get? I'm having the same issue.

This is the issue i have.

@@qotsafan7638 It was just a generic one from Walgreens or CVS.

That is tough if you have maxed the humidity settings out already. Good luck.

O wow. Your situation sounds exactly like mine. I sometimes put a cube of ice and it seems to work better.

You're welcome!

I am glad that we could help. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the input.

What is the name of the mask manufacturer please ?

Are you using the mouth strips?

Thanks for sharing

I have never heard of tooth mousse before What brand are you using. Thanks

@@MaxDance54 it’s called Tooth Mousse, in mint and another flavour. Great to protect teeth at night. Good luck! And the am dry mouth is not as bad either.

@@MaxDance54 a friend recommended GC MI Paste Plus. I got it from a dentist office. Tube was 25.00 but will last a long time. She also recommended Biotene gel to put on tongue. Haven't found that yet but I use the Biotene dry mouth wash before bed and then rub my teeth down with the MI Paste. I also use a chin strap with my nose pillow mask and it all seems to be helping.

Could you link your tooth mousse product. I found various whitening mouse, but.none for protecting teeth. Thanks so much

Stopped working, how? Heater? Mine flashed message saying "Heater malfunction."

It took my husband over a year to get his new machine. Hope you've gotten yours and problems resolved. The hubs also has asthma. I just recently started sleeping with a cpap using the nose pillow mask. Had to use chin strap due to dry mouth. Also using Biotene dry mouth wash and GC MI Paste Plus to put on teeth prior to bed. This seems to be helping.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank You.

Good luck. A lot of people do great on the Somnifix mouth strips.

I like the full face much better than the other ones. It's the only one I can use now.

I went through several testing masks before my small features found a comfy not leaky FFM. My FFM is a DreamWear FFM & only covers nose & mouth…I had thought the FFM covered ALL the face…..nope! The only model that does that here in Australia was taken off the market. The SEMI! FFM is much less than I worried about.😀

Great tip!

Great info. thanks for the input.

I doubt a strap pinched the nerve

Don't use tape you could suffocate if you have a power outage and the valve doesn't open on the mask

Thanks for the information. I would try adding in a Heated Hose if your CPAP will allow it. Then cranking the humidity as high as you can to see if it will help. Certainly worth a try.

That's what happen to me. My mouth and throat feel dry, even when I am awake with my mouth closed. HORRIBLE!!

That recall has really affected us all.

@@CPAPmyway I'm NOT buying this recall BS ! It's all related to the idiots who used some "Ozone cleaner" from all I read. I did not! That's what filters are for. I used my Remstar by Respironics for 15 years, it still works. I bet ANYTHING it's more dangerous to not use the machine than worry about the foam! I bought the INLINE BACTERIAL FILTERS , Amazon 3-pack. Goes between machine and tubing, that's going to show any foam residue. NONE... ZERO ... Only slightly gray after 6 weeks, I bet also you get more carcinogens than what the bacterial filter traps than a commute on the freeway to work in one day. FDA gave Phillips a sh*t deal imo, they still haven't made a settlement w/ FDA. They should come out and say it's the dumb ozone cleaners or whatever. If they approved that, they screwed up. DreamStation2 is not affected by the way. And no, I'm not worried about "gasses killing me from the foam" LOL I'm worried about a stroke from snoring and choking like what my heavy-snorer Dad did, that gave him heart attack eventually.

Hopefully you find some relief on that. Thanks for watching.

I ordered the bleep mask and a chin strap and have done well with that.

@@tinabuchanan894 Thank you for your reply. I have another question based on your response. What is a bleep mask? Thanks, Wally

Here is information on the Bleep. I have used it for about two weeks. I get a very good seal with it after I got the hang of putting it on. I still have to use a chin strap to avoid dry mouth issues, but my sleep is so much better than having to wrestle with the mask. You will need to try and position it on your face to suit you. Look it up on KZfaq too.

@@tinabuchanan894 Thanks for the input.

If it works, then it works! Thanks for the input.

Fusabue, your last sentence made me laugh so hard that I started to choke, & then exhaled Pepsi-cola out my nostrils! And another thing with your method; if you gotta go out & rob a gas-station or something, while wearing CPAP..... you're all set for that too! And the "mustache/band-aid" mouth closure approach; this would be pure hell for those of us "real men" that still wear "full mustaches!"

@@martinbachmann6283 😂 the gas station robbing reminds me of that scene in Raising Arizona, where the old man tells Nicholas Cage, “Son, you got a panty on your head.”

@@MissHappiness36 AhhHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Lady MissHappiness! I had forgotten all about that funny movie-line way back; I found the lil clip on y-tube, watched it once more, & then was laughing so hard + choking that I accidentally blew (drinking iced-tea today) it out my nose AGAIN!!

🤣

You may also want to look in to a room humidifier. Lots of customers have seen big improvements with that. Like the ones used for kids when they are sick.

That is great. Thank you for the input

That is the somnifix. Link to it below. Currently on significant backorder. cpapmyway.com/store/disposable-cpap-parts/cpap-chinstraps/somnofix-mouth-strips

La boca seca puede ser porque al dormir se te abre la boca y sale el aire. Por eso recomienda que te pongas una banda que te mantenga la boca cerrada, o que uses somnifix u otra cinta adhesive para cerrar la boca (tiene una ranura para dejar respirar). Alternativamente, te recomienda cambiar a una mascara que cubra tanto la nariz como la boca al mismo tiempo. Tambien recomienda usar el humidificador en la maquina de CPAP, y en casos extremos tambien usar un humidificador del aire en tu habitacion. Buena suerte!

Thanks for the input.

Wow. That makes things tough.

That is a tough one. Have you tried any of the video options yet?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7idnJuhr9jWYo0.html This is a link to our DreamStation Bluetooth video. Hope this is helpful. Have a great day.

Thanks for the input.

Thank you very much for that input.

Sorry that you haven't been able to find resolution. Does not sound fun.

You are very welcome.

Thanks for watching and for the input. You certainly can only do so much to help, but if you are interested in a full face options we have found the AirTouch Full face to work well with beards. Link below to that mask. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/resmed-airtouch-f20-full-face-mask

If you have heated tubing and have the humidity all the way up, then it may be as good as you can do short of adding a room humidifier to your bedroom.

Are you using a Heated Tube yet?

My dentist suggests using Biotene solution in the day as mouth dries. And put some Tooth Mousse (pea sized amount she said) to the teeth surfaces with a finger before bed. Reuse both if wake dry. The Biotene keeps mouth wetter & Tooth Mousse prevents dry mouth related tooth decay. Pity no one told you.😕 and good oral hygiene ( flossing daily, brushing teeth…) is vital to prevent cavities. Protect your teeth,! Avoid acidic foods like Coke! Sofas, fruit juices ( high in natural sugars). Actual fresh fruit & veg are vital. That matters too. Is there fluoride in your water? If not, at lease use a high fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist should be able to recommend local brands &/or supplements . Good luck!

I understand the question. However, adding a room humidifier has been helpful to others in the same situation. Worth a try if nothing else is an option I would say. Good luck.

Are you using a heated tube yet?

Thanks for the input.

If there is a mask leak you may have the "auto off" kicking in and turning the CPAP off. That is all that I can think of off hand.

Good luck. Thanks for watching and for the input

Thanks for info on Biotene.

Well.... that is one way to do it. Thanks for the input.

Great input. Thank you!

I thought a bit of sea salt or Himalayan salt kept water in your body. No?

Thank you.

Thanks for the input. Have a great day and good luck!!

Thanks for the input.

That would depend on which ResMed model that you have. I would definitely consult with the doc before making big changes though. We do have settings videos on our channel for most models.

Yes. But prob a good time to have it checked out. Repair Blog link below discusses this well. cpapmyway.com/blog

You may want to try the AirTouch from ResMed to help with the skin breakdown. It is very soft and may help tremendously. Link to that mask below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/resmed-airtouch-f20-full-face-mask

Good luck and thank you for the input.

Good Luck! Thanks for the input

The mouth tape is worth a try for sure. It should not pull your hair too bad. We have others with beards that use them.

Got to mention.It doesn't stop the dry mouth it only prevent you from getting up and drinking water|(if you're lazy like me lol).Once you taste the lollie/sweets it start stimulating saliva,well for me it does

Thank you for the input on the dry mouth.

This DreamStation/SoClean adapter should help with the connection issue. You may also want to consider a full face option if you have continued dry mouth. SoClean/DreamStation Adapter: cpapmyway.com/store/dreamstation-socelan-adapter Full Face Mask options: cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks

Different for everyone. Best to start in the middle, then turn up if you are dry in the morning or turn down if you have excess condensation.

Thanks for the input.

Same here. Full face mask, with humidifier & heated hose, and I usually get very bad dry mouth all night. I even refill the water level about 4 hours into my sleep time, so I know the water/humidity is being sent through the tube to the mask. Does anyone have an ACTUAL SOLUTION?

@@m.n.3490 Tape your mouth. Dermal tape at pharmacy. Cheap, works great.

Full face mask is the sure route to dry mouth.

Full face is even worse for dry mouth. That's my issue right now and I can't stand it.

It can for sure.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck on a speedy recovery.

You may want to consider the mouth strips. Link below. They are really helpful and easy. cpapmyway.com/store/hush-mouth-strips

Have you tried the auto setting with a climateline heated tube?

I do not think so. You can always buy a DreamStation 2 once they are available again.

We are testing out a new resolution to this. Stay tuned. If it works well we will get a video out on it very soon.

You may want to switch it up to a full face CPAP mask. Many customers are really happy with that decision when they discover that they are mouth breathers.

Certainly could be something to consider as well.

Flonase was recommended for me but I'm not sure if may have side effects after a while.

@@CPAPmyway I tried everything you mentioned and I still get severe dry mouth. 😫 Even the room humidifier clogs up the filter on my CPAP and doesn’t run properly and can potentially suffocate at night. I can’t win no matter how I try.

Nope not at all

Everyone is so different. The Tube temp should be adjusted as needed to keep moisture out of the tubing as you increase the humidity setting.

Thanks for the input.

My doctor told me upon start up, DO NOT do this. It is going into lungs.

Your not suppose to anything in the c pap reservoir. Only distilled water

@@PhilVerryChannel I think that's pretty obvious, but I don't do this every night. What would the difference be if you used an inhaler (vicks) if your nasal passages are plugged up.

@@jenaccess4luv I only use distilled water but sometimes when my nasal passages are blocked, I'll add 2 drops of eucalyptus oil. It opens up my nasal passages. I also drilled a hole in my water reservoir to pour the water through a small funnel. The reason for doing this is over time of filling it up with water night after night my machine started whistling because the water reservoir would become looser and looser over time. It got to be a fight to wiggle it around so it wouldn't whistle. So now I TAKE THE RESERVOIR OUT once a week and wash it good with dawn dish soap. I put a small cork in the hole I drilled and problem solved. When you wear a mask for over 20 years, you learn a few tricks to eliminate problems.

That is great. Thanks for the input.

I am really not sure. Doesn't sound right. I will say that the modern heated humidifiers will adjust on their own due to your homes humidity and temp if they need to. So that could be the reason.

Yes you can. We have a video that will drop today on that. Stay tuned.

Here is the video for SoClean and DreamStation 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK2Aiad2sJjPm4k.html

One downside on the iBreeze is that there is not a heated tubing option. A heated tube will allow more humidity to be delivered. So it may be the system restricting the humidity due to your ambient conditions. You may be correct.

I recently started using a resvent cpap machine with a full face mask and am getting dry mouth, lips and throat. I have raised the humidity level and I believe there is a heating element under my water case. I do live in the Midwest where it’s humid this time of year. My house is normally temp locked at 69 degrees. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

There are times where people have a tough time no matter what.
