<P>Hi everyone,</P>
<P></P>
<P>So, lately I've been having a horrible problem with snoring and the rest of my family is suffering because of it. It started in the past year or so and I've been told it's very bad. Not only is it a loud snoring noise, but it's also been described as I'm "sucking in my face." :\</P>
<P></P>
<P>When the snoring started, I actually got set up right away for a sleep study. The sleep study came back normal and only showed that I snore, nothing more. Then I went to an ENT doctor and he basically found nothing structurally wrong and no reason for the snoring. The only thing he saw was polyp tissue.</P>
<P></P>
<P>I am just curious as to whether I should bring it up to my CF doctor or if this is totally not CF-related. Does anyone else have horrible snoring and/or sleeping noises?</P>
<P></P>
<P>Thanks!</P>
<P></P>

I watched a documentary on several common conditions and various treatments for them. One of the things they touched on was snoring. The most effective treatment was a retainer-like device which one wears while sleeping. It pulls the jaw forward and opens the airway. It was extremely effective for the woman who tried it.

It makes sense, as we use the same technique as a basic airway maneuver in CPR to improve airflow into the lungs. This was a British documentary, so I don't know about the availability of these devices in the US, nor do I have time to research it at the moment. What I do know is that it was effective for the patient who tried it in the documentary and it was comfortable enough to sleep with it in.

If I can find the documentary, I will post the link.

I am noisy sleeper. When I have the upper respiratory crud I snore. My hubby says I grumble and grunt throughout the night. Luckily hubby snores too so we just cancel each other out. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Kiddo sleeps very well despite his loud parents.

I did a sleep study during my last tune up. They said it was normal... just fine.

Thanks, I feel better knowing I'm not alone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I know snoring is a common problem for a lot of adults. Too bad there wasn't a quick fix for it. I have heard of the retainer thing and I do believe different versions of it are available-the hard part is figuring out which one is legit and works well.
