Hello Carol,

This is a great article. I saved the link and will go back later to read the entire piece. Thank you so much for posting it. In case it's of any value, an acquaintance in the Dallas area had a new procedure done by a dental surgeon - the doc inserted a few "pins" in the pharangeal soft tissue area. It has significantly reduced snoring and eased the low-level obstructions he experienced at night.

Quick procedure, in the dental chair, Novocaine, and he was able to go out to dinner that evening. Uncomfortable, but he says nothing big, a huge departure from the soft-tissue pharyngeal surgery often recommended. I don't know anything more about it yet, but since my doc just diagnosed what he termed "mild to moderate" sleep apnea, I will dig around for some additional information to talk with him about. Passing it on, fwiw.

Thank you again.

TCC
