Hi CloveApple,
Do you still have sleep apnea?
I also had central or brain apneas during the sleep study where I wore a CPAP which is why the tried a VPAP which has variable air pressure.
I have less apneas when sleeping on my left side to I try to do that and use a pillow that keeps me propped up.

I used to have really bad sleep apnea and like you I could not tolerate the CPAP. (I actually got less sleep with it than without it. And that's saying something!) I remember that constant exhaustion all too well and I hope the dental appliance does the trick for you.
