Have you managed to reduce apnea symptoms or did you resort to CPAP?

CPAP. Works wonderfully. I sleep so soundly now as compared to 15–20 years ago. Totally recommend it.
If you doc is suggesting it, I have some ideas for you to consider – send me a direct message,
But it works great. I’m a big supporter.
3 years ago I got SnoreRX and it changed both mine and my wife’s life. I wake up so much more refreshed. Look around for BOGO deals. Worth every penny IMO.
I use a moldable mouthpiece and it keeps me from snoring. It’s alot like what @Cruiser is using only you mold it yourself.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Just to be clear the device I posted is also a mouth piece you boil and bite into to get a perfect snug fit.
Huh, but it’s adjustsable too?
@ZEPHYRA I don’t have personal experience but saw a device on “indiegogo” which goes on your nose. Looks like it fit into nostrils a bit with most of it external. I’d check that one out. No masks tubing etc. I will see if I can find it and get a link.
@ARE_you_kidding_me Yes it is. It will allow you to articulate your jaw to your hearts content.
How often do you replace it. Mine gets replaced every few months
@ARE_you_kidding_me I get over a year or more out of each device unless my dog steals it off the nightstand. Very well made device…I have tried them all and this one is tops. I have yet to tap my dentist for their version though. I got a 2–4-1 sale and waiting for the next one to get 2 more.
My dog steals mine too lol.
I had a very different experience from everyone else.
Some years ago I was having trouble sleeping, did the sleep lab test (which cost a fortune) and was told I had apnea.
Got a CPAP, tried a variety of masks but kept waking up night after night tearing the damn thing off.
Gave up the machine after 3 months and started sleeping better than I had in years.
Phooey on sleep labs.
Since my husband started using nasal strips, he went from nearly constant, loud snoring to an occasional loud breath during the night.
@YARNLADY, I agree about nasal strips. They work great for me, too.
(And for MY trunk, can you picture how big that strip is!?)
