| Surgery is controversial. UPPP (Uvulo-palato-pharygoplasty)
can stop the snoring, but often the apnea continues, along with
the extra problems of nasal regurgitation and a Donald Duck voice.
Laser surgery to the pharynx is generally considered, outside ENT
circles, not to work for OSA. Tracheostomy is the only surgical
procedure guaranteed to produce a positive result
(Visit alt.support.sleep.disorders for some opinions about
surgery in OSA) |
| Youre not the only one.
I got stuck on some people stop breathing all together. Is that
opposed to breathing separately and what if you dont have anybody to
breath with? Please forgive me, I know this is serious but sometimes I
feel like a nut. |

Does anyone out there know of any methods to stop snoring? My

I also suffer from this (or at least my wife does! :-)
One possibility (not *yet* tried by me) appeared in an American
Express catalogue -- a wrist-watch-like device that emits small
electric shocks when the decibels start to increase! This rouses
one enough to tighten the throat, but not enough to wake up fully.
Pavlov.... hmmm... that name rings a bell! :-)

| Greater awareness of the efficacy of OSA splints for sleep apneas
may help to make dental devices more available to the greater population
of non-apneic snorers who experience no physical problems. Non-apneic
snorers currently have a confusing panoply of less effective remedies
from which to choose, from snore balls and nasal dilators to homeopathic
products and hypnosis. Slowly but surely, the word is getting out, and
much of it is positive word-of-mouth from satisfied users, that dental
providers have a device that helps stop snoring. You may also wish to
check out our site, and the sites for the American Sleep Disorders
Association, American Sleep Apnea Association, National Sleep
Foundation, Restless Leg Syndrome and the Narcolepsy Network, as follow: |
