It always puzzles me that medical science has made such amazing advancements
in comparatively complex surgeries (like my knee reconstruction), and yet
can only offer a 60% success rate for something like this. Don't make no

I've not had a sleep study using it. I rely on my wife telling me
whether or not I'm sleeping soundly as she's the one who brought it to
my attention in the first place.
I've seen some news stories lately that have talked about how mouth
guards are becoming more popular both because of the cost a

them. Have you had a sleep study while using the mouth guard? What I am
wondering is why they don't try that first, since it is so much cheaper.

Another option to consider is a mouth guard. I've had a cpap machine
for about 3 years, but really haven't used it for the past 9 months
since I've started using a mouth guard. My first mouth guard I bought

guard. I was astounded

I am not sure how much of a risk it is, but if I understand correct
heard of this and tried it with some shortness of breath I was having on

apnea as the issue there is that you are asleep and are not aware that your
airway is obstructed. Appreciate the suggestion though...

Have you checked your filters, just out of curiosity? If that's not it, my next
thought would be that perhaps you need your pressure increased, however this is
not a do-it-yourself maneuver -- it requires another sleep study, at least it
does under the prevailing paradigm over here in New Mexico
I don't know if I lucked out or something, but my insurance has

Well,
It all came to a head on a skiing trip when friends couldn't sleep in the
same room as me. I was that bad. They described it to a bunch of nurses we
got together with and they said I had apnea.
