Alternatives to CPAP for sleep apnea
Has anyone experienced a less intrusive alternative to a CPAP machine that they would recommend.?My CPAP works for my fairly severe sleep apnea but is uncomfortable enough that I am depressed thinking I will be hooked up to this thing for the rest of my life. I have tried a couple of different mask systems. I can’t use the minimally intrusive nose-only mask because I am a mouth breather.

An oral appliance
there are different size masks , I have to use the full size one as I found the smaller ones the holes for the air was too small, u might not.
@tisme & others
I gave up using a mask for many reasons. One was that the place in my area that supplied masks refused to let their patients try on any masks. They made the decision which mask would be best for you! Their decision did not work & I gave up.
Now I am going to try using a special pillow & a humidifier.
