Anyone has experience of using this device to treat obstructive sleep apnea?
How did you order this device in US?

What about the dry mouth that it causes? Covering the end of the tongue with it would prevent saliva reaching the tongue.

Some patients have complained of soreness/irritation after, and untenable discomfort during tongue stabilization.
I would also be concerned about limiting salivary bathing of the tongue resulting in an infection of that organ.

I used that gizmo for about a year and a dry tongue was never an issue. Where's the moisture going to go? You've got your tongue encased in silicone; there's no way for moisture to evaporate. I gave up using it for other reasons, but dry tongue/mouth was not a problem.

I really prefer the Good Morning Snore Solution. It's smaller, only encases the very tip of the tongue and completely prevents mouth breathing. Totally stops snores, too. Plus you cant grind your teeth when wearing it! And zero dry mouth! If I didn't have so many central events, I'd still be using only that device. I used it along with my Swift FX. I can't use it with my new Tap-Pap, and I really wish I could!

You are the woman, babytalk!! I tried the Aveo with my Pilairo but my cheeks kept puffing out. Now I at least have an option to use with cpap again! Even if it doesn't work, can't thank you enough for the tip!!

The Good Morning Sleep Solution was developed by Dr. Dort, and was aveoTSD take off. The product has gone through numerous attempts to revive itself in the market place, starting with MPowrx. Works for people obviously, and that's great. It didn't work for me at all, but the aveoTSD does. Most important is to talk to your doctor as well as do your research before making a choice(s), including reviewing clinical trials/studies, ensuring the treatment addresses your issue (efficacy), and that you will use it (compliance). There are many choices out there, which is the way it should be - make an informed choice and consult your doctor.

Absolutely. It worked for me also. I have no problem keeping it on, no problem with the comfort, and it worked perfectly as far as holding tongue forward all night. Problem was my tongue isn't the only problem: the whole house of cards is coming down (airway collapse). I'm hoping that GM Sleep Solution will work with cpap and my cheeks won't puff out. If it does, I will be the happiest woman alive.

I have the device and am trying to get use to it. I start with CPAP until my usual 2 am trip to the bathroom and then I switch to the Aveo. It is starting to become more comfortable. I explained in an earlier thread that I purchased it for an upcoming 7 day rafting trip..... In fact I leave in 3 days. There will be no power and a 7 day battery would require another raft for the battery. I'm fairly convinced that it helps with obstructive apnea when only the tongue is involved. I'm also interested in experimenting with using both and lowering my pressure. I average a pressure around 12 and most of my events have been centrals.... and most often under 5. My sleep doc would not write a script since she was not a believer in the device and did not want to be considered endorsing. I'll try to give an update after the trip.

How did this work out for you? My doc just recommended it but I'm a little skeptical...

You may want to try a PM.

And Chunky, why are you answering an old thread as well?

[Notwhenthesurfsup]

I have been using this device for 3 years now. First of all Chunkyfrog does not know what he is talking about, it was approved for use by the FDA to treat sleep apnea (not just snoring). I believe it is not promoted in this country because doctors don't make any money selling it. Secondly it does not keep saliva off of your tungue, but sometimes saliva will collect in the end of the device. It does take a few minutes in the morning for your tongue to become flexable which has not been a problem for me. Lastly, it took me about one week to get accustomed to it, but now I feel like I'm missing something if I do not have it on.

You're also missing manners - Chunky is a female.
