Well, there's never a guarantee that it will work, but in my case, I can't fucking breathe and it's either this or an A-Pap for the rest of my life. I may still have to get an A-pap anyway, but this will actually make that more comfortable. [Reply]

They shrink the turbinate tissue using an electric needle, it's basically electrical cautery.
They couldn't get me numb when they did mine so he ended up giving me a leather bit to handle the pain.
Yes I have, left lobe only.
Now if any of you had the stones, try reconstruction of your nose by use of a forehead flap, needed to replace skin and cartilage removed as a result of Mohs surgery, going back in the chair 4 times until they got it all (basal)...the smell of burning flesh..
Don’t forget to have the plastic surgeon remove cartilage from behind you ear to use to rebuild your nostril lobe too...

Yeah, I've heard stories like that. Just doesn't match up with my experience at all. Life after surgery is so much different, and better, than before, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. [Reply]

I couldn't have used a machine for apnea at all, almost all of them just assume you'll breathe through your nose and I couldn't. [Reply]

My tempurpedic adjustable bed has alleviated my snoring and sleep apnea concerns. [Reply]
