I forgot to mention, many think that UARS is a precursor to OSA. That tends to imply that it is not a significant problem - I disagree. It has cost me my job as a well paid engineer. But in my case, about two years after being diagnosed with UARS and no apnea, I have developed mild apnea. And I still have the UARS going on at the same rate ~35/hr on aPAP. I am fully compliant with PAP, but feel no better for it. I am jealous of those who benefit from being a hosehead!
