Very observant! Yeah, I can get the AHI down to zero with the MAD + CPAP. However, it often doesn't do a great job at making me feel rested. I was probably premature in my assessment of my condition/outcome. I always rush to be optimistic about my condition.jnk... wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 5:27 pmDidn't you report a month or so ago that you got a zero AHI with MAD and CPAP?

If so, your residual tiredness issues from that point forward would likely relate to health issues beyond OSA.
The usual sleep and airway sensitivities that often accompany UARS would likely make a nasal stent less than tolerable for UARS phenotypes.
If, as you posted earlier, MAD helps you in conjunction with PAP as the MAD moves your tongue forward (which is at a much lower location than the nasal and upper throat area of the airway), it is unlikely that a nasal stent is the solution for you, IMO.
Wish you the best.
I do think the condition is solely breathing related, some days I get great rest and feel great. The equation to achieving that on a daily basis seems mysterious though, maybe just attributable to random chance/luck.
Thank you for the feedback on the stint. Guess I will continue to look elsewhere.
