I have used a CPAP (APAP actually) for over 3 years now without any problems. However, I do follow two SA specific Boards (links below) that are many times more active than DS' SA Board. I highly recommend that you repost your question at each of these Boards. This type of question comes up frequently and the answer is usually the same; no.

To kind of answer your question, no I have not seen any reliable fix (really you are just fixing the side effects of SA) from anything except using a CPAP or one of its cousin machines such as the more popular APAP machine,

SA is a very dangerous and deadly condition that must be effectively treated or your life will very likely be shorten. I recommend that you try to adapt to the "gold standard" SA treatment which is CPAP. But, I realize that some just cannot seem to adjust to CPAP and are looking for other answers, which are very few, usually expensive, and not effective.

As I mentioned above, checkout these two Boards:

Diagnosed 10 yrs ago with severe SA and severe sleep deprivation as well as insomnia. Could not wear the mask, can't even sleep with a blanket over my face. I made an appointment with a maxillofacial surgeon last October and found out about a surgical procedure that has about 90-95 success rate of eliminating to reducing to minor SA.

Had the surgery in December and it has made a world of difference. I wake feeling rested, did not eliminate insomnia, but so far has reduced it and have lost 30 lbs.

It's a rather extensive surgery that lasts about 6 hours as they move both lower and upper jaws forward.

Best thing I have ever done. I am 55 and I feel more energetic than I have in 2 decades. I highly suggest see a maxillofacial surgeon for a consult. Like I said, best move I made and the potential health benefits of reduced chances of stroke, heart desires, type 2 diabetes, etc. A miserable recovery, but 100% worth it.

there is a recent interesting news story in Heathcare Asia Daily, if you have not seen it – you might want to forget the new cpap machine and keep the money in your pocket

When breathing too much can “kill” you

to RickinKs. I went through the same feeling. Have S/A over 8 years now. I've been there, and still not fully used to it. I would go back to your specialist and advise them you are not comfortable and find an alternative. There are more varieties and sizes than every before. Hopefully there is something that IS comfortable for you.

Captain. I have been following SA since being diagnosed. I have tried dental devices and a variety of masks and machines. Im at a loss on what alternative the doctor may provide. Well this is this one device that was recently approved by the FDA. It's actually an implant that is placed in your chest and is wired to the soft tissue on the back of your throat. You have to turn it on, and off in the morning. I dont think that is for me..

I never got used to the cpap/bipap last checked in 2011 I had an average of 90 apnea’s an hour. I am currently looking in to the inspire device. I have to do something. I sleep all weekend and everyone just thinks I am lazy. They don’t understand how much 90 apnea’s really is and what that does to you.
