Dentists in Hull that know about Mewing ?

I'll try again and I'll also discuss with the clinic whether an APAP…"

None of you EVER need feel alone, as we're here to help - especially those of us who are now successful on CPAP. Keep remembering that it wasn't easy for a lot of us at the beginning though, and it WILL get better with help from your clinic and us on here.
Love the way you've put how miserable you feel Linda, followed by a LOL :-D We do have to have humour with CPAP don't we?
I was thinking I was alone with this problem, as most people say they are great on cpap, and full of energy....i just feel miserable lol
