Amy Jo,
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Assuming that you've tried everything to use CPAP, one other option is to consider a dental device that keeps your lower jaw pulled forward when you sleep allergic rhinitis night. You may want to see a dentist that specializes in these oral appliances. There are certain anatomic and sleep study criteria that you need to meet to be a good candidate. One of the main reasons that the UPPP procedure doesn't work is because there is underlying tongue obstruction.
Are you able to breathe better through your nose?
AmyJo,
I am listening to your story, and it seems hopeless...but it's not! There are multiple people on this site with similar stories. These folks have been through it all and have come out compliant Cpap users. I was one of the lucky ones and adapted to cpap right away, but I have treated several patients who have had the same problems as you. Tell us a little more, What kind of machine do you use? What is your presure setting? do you have a humidifier? What mask were you able to fall asleep with? Lets start there, and see what the forum has to say.
