newbie looking for UARS success stories

[Guest]

I was recently diagnosed with UARS (August 2010). I have been using the TAP III for the past four weeks with no success (still experiencing excessive daytime fatigue). Any idea why the dental device doesn't work? I am thinking about trying XPAP therapy but not sure where to start. This is all overwhelming - CPAP, APAP, BIPAP, etc.
In my sleep study I had very little N3 sleep (6.7%) with REM of 16%. I had 128 arousals (46 hypopneas and 81 spontaneous) for an index of 28.5/hour. All events were in NREM - both supine and non-supine. My oxygen saturation summary was good. All of this has created some insomnia/anxiety. I am looking for ways people have successfully treated UARS. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I thought I would bump this up because I, too am interested.

Keep looking, I think it's filed under fiction. Jim

XPAP is the Gold Standard of treatment for Sleep Apnea for a reason, once you get over De-Nile, it works.

I was actually looking for a machine or pressure that specifically treats UARS. I am well aware there is not a magic cure out there. I am going to try CPAP, just curious if there is a machine or pressure.

not a story per se... but a fairly long discussion on UARS

My husband has UARS. He had a sleep study done and a titration study (sleep study with the mask) and the doctor titrated him at 9 cm. CPAP not only cut down on most of his arousals but also virtually eliminated his crescendo snoring. He sleeps peacefully every night with an s9 and Mirage Quatro full face mask (he is a mouth breather and loud snorer).

Why were you diagnosed with UARS and not OSA?
