Sleep Apnea – A Sleeping Epidemic

My husband has been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and not tolerating his cpap mask. He is physically and mentally exhausted from sleep deprivation and is considering a surgery called GAHM ,genioglossus advancement with hyoid myotomy. Anyone have this done and what were the outcomes ? Thanks

I’ve been on a CPAP for several years now. It took me a few weeks to get used to it but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. The surgery is only about 50% effective as in it only works for about 50% of those who get the surgery done. The group who are even potential candidates for the surgery is small. Work with your provider to try different masks.

Is there a way to quickly get rid of the lines and marks my CPAP sometimes makes on my face? It can get embarassing having to go out in public with these indentations from the mask. Thanks.

There are different mask as everyone face is different. Visit sleepnet.com for a wealth of information.

I found a mask a like, I wake up with the marks but they are generally gone by the time I get to work. It is the least of my problems.

I just found a mask called a sleep weaver, that I want to try.

For those of us with sleep apnea its very hard to obtain info on new apnea products.

I have Sleep Apnea, but I depend on my Dr., who also has Sleep Apnea, to suggest what masks to use. We just got done fitting me for a new mask and after 9 years I am finally getting a new machine, with warm air mist. Here is the web link the national sleep apnea organization. They have a forum that can possibly answer any specific questions you may have.
