Title: Xeros machine
Post by: Michael1234 on June 23, 2015, 04:37:24 AM
Hello all,
I read on the Internet about a guy who sells a machine called Xeros that pumps continuous water into your mouth at night via a small hose that you put in your mouth. Anyone have any experience with this type of machine, and if so, does it help you sleep.  Thx, Mike..

I would drown for sure! Since my total thyroidectomy I have some loss of sensation in my throat due to partial paralysis in the right pharyngal return nerve or whatever it's called. Actually my right vocal cord is partially paralyzed the damage was to the nerve. Anyhow, I keep choking on trickles of spit because I don't feel it.  So I imagine that machine would cause that water to go straight to my lungs.
Lord, I sound intelligent today. Seems to be getting worse. Sorry about that!
