RE: Treatment in Canada
Thanks for your kind words 
I had to go back and read my original message because it's been a while since I posted it.
I was fairly specific that it was UARS (Upper Airway Reaistam eSyndrome), not OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), which I believe is the better known condition.
Have you had a diagnosis at all? Is it UARS or OSA?
I'm curious as to where the bottleneck is for you. Diagnosis, treatment...
Never hurts to compare notes. I will be sure to update this thread also if I find anything of potential benefit.

- DIAGNOSED WITH UARS 2014
- Much worse since starting on CPAP/ASV. 100% Compliant.
ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS/ISSUES:
- Rhinitus: Possibly allergic, getting tests. Could be non-allergenic.
- Nostrils appear to "collapse" when inhaling quickly (more than other people)
- Expiratory palatal prolapse
- REGULARLY recurring dreams of pulling gum or taffy from mouth, throat, teeth; drowning; falling; chasing people; sand in mouth; nose and face covered by something; feel like head is breaking through a "membrane".
Upon waking: No refreshment; sweating; skin burning; tongue thrust between teeth
- Weird breathing when simply lying down, or falling asleep - like holding breath.
- SEVERE fatigue. Struggle to even get out of bed, can't sustain physical or mental activities for long
