Can't recommend Good Morning Snore Solution

[tan]

For those who are still looking for means to a better sleep... I tried the Good Morning Snore Solution -- can't recommend it to anyone from my experience: doesn't really seal the mouth. But if somebody does like the insanely overpriced piece of rubber, you can try the following trick, send an email to their customer service as if you are to return the item:

Subtotal:$99.94
Coupon Code (SMR15off):$-14.99
Purchase Price:$84.95
Shipping:$9.95
Handling:$10.00
Grand Total:$104.90

Good Day,

I'm sorry after all of this that the product has not worked for you. With postage being so expensive, and the hassle of packaging and mailing your mouthpiece back to us from the US to Canada, I would like to propose the following two options for refund.

1) I can refund you $50.00 of the $84.95 purchase price immediately to complete the refund process, and you can keep the product.

OR.......

2) You can send the product back to us (original packaging must be included), and I will refund you the $84.95 purchase price you originally paid. You just have to do the following.
**Please write your Authorization number on the outside of the package before shipping**

You are responsible for the shipping charge. Once we receive the returned product, we will refund your CC/Account accordingly. Typically, due to receiving and processing times, it is not uncommon for your return to take approximately 1-4 weeks from the date we receive your return to the date of your refund.

Snoring does not mean you have OSA (tho' it's more likely), and not snoring doesn't mean you don't have OSA, plus anti-snore devices (if they work at all) only cure snoring, but not OSA because apneas are the result of throat obstruction, not nasal obstruction, though occasionally helping nasal conditions (surgically or otherwise) may also help OSA.

I rather hoped to have it as something that can block my mouth leak. Taping didn't really work ("chipmunk" effect)

If your FF mask doesn't fit well, have you tried others? Or possibly added PadaCheek liners?

PadaCheek makes leaking worse. Besides, FFM itself does not prevent mouth opening. And even if FFM fits well, my mouth runs dry anyway.

Interesting... do you combine CPAP and MAD? Either of them alone is not sufficient, but the combination works, does it not?

I have ordered a NoseBreathe device that claims to position tongue at the mouth's roof top to force nose only breathing which I intend to try with a nasal mask only.

I ordered one of those from Dr. Sue years ago. It's still in a drawer somewhere.

It did not work for me. I hope it works for you. Maybe you can let us know.

I was using it with CPAP in hopes of preventing dry mouth. It did not.

Thanks for sharing. Did you have leaks anyway then? I take it you didn't return the for a refund, did you?

I did use both for a while cpap set on 4 cm .... I went this route because I am a back sleeper and have trouble when on my back. I can now sleep on my back without snoring.
I no longer use the cpap with the MAD ... but I will alternate some times for a deversion

I go next week for a sleep study and titration of the device. The one I have is adjustable
I started with cheep $3 boil and bite snorestopper from Ebay and it worked good, so I had the new one made.

Although a snore-stop device may be of some use for non-symptomatic snoring,
to represent it for treatment of apnea would be not only irresponsible, but criminal!

If a device can move tongue forward far enough to sufficiently alleviate the obstruction, I would say it could be used to treat apnea. Simple doesn't mean ineffective. YMMV

[grayghost4]

I would not recommend it as a substitute for proven treatment, but as an aid to tell weather holding your lower jaw forward will help with cpap treatment.

The boil and bite plastic device can be set with you lower jaw forward as much as is comfortable for you and cooled in that position. using that with a head band or tape to keep the mouth closed along with cpap. It immediately lower my AHI, and allowed me to sleep on my back.

[Goofproof]

It amazes me, the effort people will goto to, not sucessfully treat their sleep apnea. Any amount of money, and wasted effort, just to keep stroking in De-Nile.

If half the effort was put into using XPAP correctly (Correctly, many use it incorrectly.), the first obstacle to overcome is the "Can't syndrome". Overcome that and the rest becomes doable. Jim
