Hello, I’ve been a CPAP user for over 20 years. For me, a day on CPAP makes a huge difference to my quality of life. For about six months now, I haven’t even been able to use it for an hour. Unfortunately, I’ve started experiencing severe dryness in my throat, making it impossible to sleep. I have a Remed CPAP machine with a temperature and humidity control tube, and I’ve tried dozens of temperature and humidity combinations. I’ve switched from a nose mask to a full mask, but nothing has worked. I even bought a humidifier to try and increase the ambient humidity, but still nothing. I’m 62 years old, and I’m struggling to imagine how I can go on without solving this problem. I can’t express how happy and grateful I would be if someone could help me. Thank you, and sweet dreams!ll

Same exact thing here and it’s driving me nuts! I can’t figure out what could have changed after 10+ years of using a cpap that would be causing dry mouth. I would love to know how to fix this issue.
I’ve seen several pulmonologists and neurologists looking for a solution. It seems the issue isn’t easy to resolve. Now they’re going to do a polysmnography to see what’s happened with the apneas and try to wean me off the CPAP and see if it can be replaced with an alternative therapy. Regards, Jaime
