How the hell does breaking your jaw fix sleep apnea I think your doctor just hated you

https://www.sleepdr.com/the-sleep-blog/jaw-surgery-to-cure-sleep-apnea-guest-post/

Bimaxillary advancement *cured* my apnea.

- 65 apneic events an hour to zero
- pO2 from 90% to 100%
- no CPAP = no compliance issues

(Also fixed my 17mm overbite and ski ramp lower jaw!)

I used to have waking headaches a couple times a week for several years. Not responsive to analgesics, lasted half a day. They went away and never recurred after surgery. Not once.

Dr. Claudio Tocchio in Toronto, did a couple or these surgeries a week.

Or you can use a CPAP every night for the rest of your life. Not for me.

Does this answer your question?

Oh - for Americans, the surgery was fully covered by our provincial medical plan. Had to pay for parking at the hospital though. I think a CPAP would have been covered as well but I wasn't interested in one.

I get that language evolves, but 115k dead (and rising) seems like a stretch for "literally nothing".

also it's not that there aren't negative effects of the quarantine, but given that the quarantine is necessary it's the government's responsibility to pull out all the stops to keep people's lives as comfortable as possible. another reason why the inept response has been frustrating

No, that's definitely wrong. The virus has already killed over a hundred thousand people and isn't slowing down.

All these arguments about X thing being worse than the virus are beyond absurd to all but the most mentally ill observer.

Mental illness is a bitch. Domestic violence is awful. Nobody is rooting for these things, but they pale in comparison to the loss of human life that has already happened, let alone what is coming.

The economy "failing" will not kill more people than the virus. Suicides and murders aren't going to come close to matching these numbers.

To me, it sounds like someone is telling you that there is a murderer outside who wants to kill you, and all you want to talk about is how inconvenient it is not to be able to go outside where the killer is. Like, yeah... This sucks but it's objectively better than the alternative.

Let me restate what I originally said then. I was wrong when I said that side effects of the pandemic are literally worse than six figures people dying from it. I know that's what I typed, but that's not what I was trying to communicate, so please forgive me. You're right that anyone who thinks that any side effect is worse than literally >100k people dying has problems.

What I should have said was that this pandemic is having a much heavier toll on peoples' mental health than typical endemic viruses (such as the flu) that kill hundreds of thousands of people globally year after year after year. This is due to government irresponsibility, constant bombardment and reminders of this irresponsibility, and long periods of isolation.

Thank you for calling me out on it and correcting me, everyone.

The most likely scenario is the firing of Fauci and massive coordinated effort to convince everyone that everything is normal, go back to work and buy stuff.

Anyone who hasn't tweeted president trump by easter thanking him and telling him how smart his plan (HIS PLAN NOT CONGRESSES ALL PRAISE TO TRUMP) has to pay the $1200 back WITH interest. Even if you haven't received it yet. If he retweets you, you get on a list for another $150.

its those things but it's also the virus itself. my local and state governments have been some of the better ones during all this, comparatively, but still twice as many people in my county already have died of covid19 in just the last three months than during the entire flu season last year

Just be patient. The Donald needs time to patiently hand-address and personalize each of the 300 million checks before gently placing them into piles based on geographic location that he is very smart about, then gingerly moistens and seals each envelope with love and care and piss

I saw that. She's a 20-something with obvious respiratory issues during a pandemic but, yeah, she didn't get worse so she's obviously not an asymptomatic carrier or anything.

Either way she's basically yelling fire in a movie theater which is a dick move.

Serious question..where are you seeing CPAPs for $500? I don't have insurance and I need the Trumpbux to buy my first one and the hospital wants $900 + supplies.

Then there's a place that rents used CPAPs for $150/yr but I dunno.
