How can I prevent sleep disordered breathing in my children?

I read the book “Jaws.” I listened to Dr. Paulo on the Jawshacks YouTube. I am planning to take them all to a myofunctional therapist as well as an “airway focused” orthodontist.

-How do I know which airway focused orthodontist or dentists are trustworthy? I feel like some might be slapping on that label the way many food companies label their products “Natural!”. How do I know whether their recommendations are going to result in good airway development? Thank you for any help.

How do you handle the very bad days

I mean the days when it seems like there is no hope. Very dark thoughts. If my brain was half working I could try to research what to do but I’m in an absolute haze at all times. I am really, really discouraged and the only thing keeping me alive is my love for my children. They are the only ones who would miss me. I have completely disappeared from everyone else in life. Can’t drive.

Pressure: 10/EPR2. Mask was a P30i. I also had in a MAD at 0mm. I wake up so tired and very very groggy every day all day. According to airway.lab I had 6.9 RERAs and 61% of my breaths were flow limited.

Heres another night using 12/EPR3: https://sleephq.com/public/c16eb732-b027-49c5-bbc5-bc857462378e
Full face mask. Very very tired and groggy. According to airway.lab, 4.3 RERAs an hour and 59.5 breaths flow limited. I did not feel any better using 12/ EPR 3. I’ve tried that many nights and feel horrible.

Thank you for any insight!
