that was me, sorry for not logging in!

I think it's pretty narrow-minded to avoid talking about any kind of surgical procedure when many surgical procedures can help a person tolerate CPAP therapy a whole lot better. 1 - The internet is more of a cauldron of doom than a place where successful experiences are posted, certainly in terms of...

If you have air pressure running into your nose or mouth it's gonna end up affecting your ears at some point, as I'm sure you all know...the mouth, nose, eyes and ears are all pretty close and interconnected.

I had my sleep study in a hospital the first time which cost the *free* UK health service about $1000, a private sleep study I'm having done at home is costing me $300, Many people think institutionalized sleep studies are a waste of time. Maybe a hotel is a trade off for expense against comfort? Roto
