Yes, my CPAP has a humidifier, and I have it running on the highest setting, per doctor's order. Yes, the dryness has gotten worse since having the CPAP, yet it was there long before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with dry eyes well over 2 years ago. The dry mouth and throat started last winter, I have only had the CPAP for 4 months. Difficulty swallowing some foods has been going on for years. This was happening before I was gluten free, over 8 yrs ago. It had happened much less, until CPAP, now it's back.
I had the blood work done today, we will see what the results are, and go from there.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
