I've been given some mild steroids for the nasal passage and will have
a sleep assessment in due course. Could end up with a MAD at a later
date. I really don't want CPAP if I can get away with it.
Losing weight wouldn't do any harm.

Don't tell me - you could have told me that.

That's my take too. Trouble is, all the advancement devices on the
market seem a bit shit (the one I've tried is representative and is
seriously uncomfortable, still haven't managed to sleep more than an
hour with it in) but just moving my lower jaw forward manually shows
that if I could find one that fits, it'd do the job perfectly. As to
CPAP, I'm 30 years too young to sleep with an air supply, ffs.
Surprisingly, my weight apparently has nothing to do with it (not
actually being *that* fat), though I did notice my snoring tailed off a
fair bit when I lost a stone after my accident last year.
I tried one a while back too, but it was a "self fit" job and I'm not
sure I did a very good job of it. I couldn't get on with it anyway.
If it's recommended that I try one again, I'll go the proper route and
get the dentist to fit one properly.

Quite. Just 'cos Billy Connolly swears by it...

No, I wouldn't have said you were even close to fat, even a year ago.
I've lost around half a stone recently, but it's mainly gone from my
beer gut. If I could get my neck size down an inch or two, that would
be ideal I reckon.

I did, five fucking years ago!
Did they mention sleep apnoea as well?

Jeez, was it that long ago?
Anyway, you didn't say it was "heroic", so I ignored it.

I told him, hence the sleep assessment thingy.

Apparently I snore a lot. Is smoking ever blamed as part
culprit? I'm not a fatty.

I would not mention sleep apnoea to anyone official.
My mate here at work mentioned it to DVLC on his licence renewal form
(he ticked the wrong box), they asked for his licence by return post and
it took him six months to get it back.

Are "mandibular advancement" fancy words for Ken Dodds teeth?
I'd go with the CPAP.

This is a public service announcement:
Salad Dodger is currently out of the country.
I'm sure your snoring isn't that bad that he will hear it whilst
abroad.

Dodger has probably had one phone him up, out of the blue...
..from Australia.
That's fucking pos. I stayed at Cane's place a few years ago, and
predictably got hammered. When I came downstairs in the morning, I
made Cane nearly piss hmself by claiming to have "slept like a hero".
> Beat that!
I'm sure I can't, but I do have to go to a sleep clinic soon, because
I snore and have a bit of apnea.
