Posted by cpapdoesnothelp on December 14, 2006 at 14:51:28:I was told by doctors to check out MMA surgery for sleep apnea. I saw a number of them. My upper and lower jaws now look excellent an some doctors say they do not want to change me features. and that MMA has an ape look unless your jaws are way back. One Doctor said the before and after pictures some doctors take are for marketing only and not accurate. A doctor told me the soft tissue moves about 1/2 more than the distance as the jaws move. I also had lower jaw surgery advancement over 20 years ago which would make my surgery more complicated. Some doctors have told me there is no way we will be able to tell how you will look. But a lot of doctors say nothing about it.
The CPAP does not help me. Are there people it just does not work on. I have extreme fatigue with CPAP as without with out it. The oral appliance help me be a little more awake, but it is hurting my jaws. I had 9 ent procedures and the tiredness and sleep apnea keeps on gettinng worst.
Doctors have told me I have scaring from UPPP surgery (or is it the lazor surgery?)I was at the Mayo clinic for about 12 days and they took tons of test and could not find out an answer for my chronic fatigue except that the Sleep apnea might be causing it.
This Fatigue is so dibilating that it is runing my life.
