it looks like the oral appliance i was using to treat my sleep apnea is causing temporomandibular joint issues so i'm gonna stop using it. now i have to deal with joint issues *and* sleep apnea :/ anyone have recs? apparently there are tongue exercises i can do???
Conversation
the doctor who tested me for sleep apnea said i had an "unusually large tongue" that was blocking my throat and apparently tongue exercises can help strengthen the tongue so it stays up at night more easily? i have no idea why no one told me this when i was looking earlier

sent me this video and it's blowing my mind although i haven't fact-checked anything. apparently the tongue is supposed to be resting on the soft palate??? apparently tongue posture can affect how hot your face looks???
