If anyone could offer me some advice who is in a similar situation I would REALLY appreciate it...
My FH snores SO loud that it wakes me up. The past week or so has been so bad that he has had to sleep in a seperate bedroom in our place so that I can sleep through the night!!
Does anyone have the same problem?? Do you know of any remedies or anything that we can do to make him stop?? I tried nose strips from CVS and they work until about 3am and then the walls are shaking again...so weird, right??
I'm afraid that we are going to be in seperate bedrooms for the rest of our lives!! When he's not there I miss him and when he is there I can't sleep and I'm a zombie the next day...
If anyone has any advice that would be great-- even if you are just in a similar situation it would help to hear that I'm not the only one!!
Thanks girls so much

Re: I need your advice/tips!!!
I definitely feel your pain. Luckily my FH only snores when he's sick. His Dr. recommended Neil Sims Rinse. It supposedly helps to clear out the sinuses. You can buy it at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. He also found that Zantac nasal spray helped.

Get him tested for apnea. Start with your doc. He may have a serious problem that can be fixed.
Get him tested. There are solutions.

I don't have the same problem but a good friend of mine does. Her DH went to the doctor to look into it. He said losing as little as 5lbs could alleviate the situation. If weight loss doesn't work then he was supposed to go see an ear, nose & throat doc.

maybe try sleeping with a humidifier in your room to moisten the air (we have to because our bedroom gets SO hot... this helps a lot!).
Also, he can try using pure saline (CVS sells a store brand of it) at night. Pure saline doesn't have steroids, so it's not addictive. I have to use this because I'm prone to sinus infections. The saline clears the nasal passages. I think the combo might help. (I'm not a doctor though... just MHO!)

I would definitly take him to the doctor. The doctor can determine the cause, whether his nasal passage is blocked or etc. And fix it right away instead of wasting $$ on the stips!

Oh thank God I'm not alone...
My girlfriend at work's in-laws slept in seperate bedrooms for years!! That's crazy!!
I will definitely try all of the suggestions... I'll make poor FH start going on the treadmill, even though he doesn't need to lose any weight!! I have heard that helps so we'll try it...
We have an appointment with the doctor next week... and I did see someone mention something about it getting worse with a cold and FH has had a bad cold for the past week and that's when it's been at its worst--before I could deal with it so hopefully when he's over the cold he'll get better!!
I want our normal love-life back (LOL-too much info) sorry to mention it but I'm deprived!!!!I just miss him!
