CPAP Alternatives - Oral Appliances, Positional Therapy, Weight Loss, Nerve Stimulation and Jaw Surgery for Sleep Apnea When You Can't Tolerate the Mask, With Questions to Bring to Your Sleep Doctor #1012484

You have tried the masks. You have adjusted the straps, swapped the cushions, and still you wake at 3 a.m. with the mask in your hand and no memory of taking it off. Now you are searching for another way out, and every answer seems to be a sales pitch or a forum argument. CPAP Alternatives is a calm, plain-English guide to the realistic options when the mask is not working: what each one involves, who it tends to suit, what recovery and cost usually look like, and how to choose with your sleep clinician instead of guessing. It is not a getting-started guide for new machine users and not a book about fatigue on a well-controlled machine; it starts where those leave off, when you are asking what else is on the table. Inside, you'll learn: Whether you are newly diagnosed and dreading the mask, or ten years in and weary of the hose, this book helps you walk into your next appointment informed, organized and ready to ask for what you need.
