Chickweed,

You do have one other option. That is MMA surgery. It can produce a significant improvement in your apnea. In some cases, people are even cured by MMA surgery (about 42 percent cured according to latest stats). Surgery for apnea is a mixed bag. The jaw surgeries tend to work much better than the soft tissue ones. The tradeoff is that they are major surgeries and they are costly. I just mention it because MMA surgery would be better than sleeping without CPAP. See the surgical board for more info.
