Getting your uvula lasered

[sleep envy]

I suffer terribly from snoring, so much so I wake up every now and again from badly bruised ribs

I read in a paper yesterday about a Doc who had his uvula lasered which cured his snoring - has anyone else tried this?

Bad man!!

I know someone who hhad their throat lasered for snoring. Hurt like hell apparently, and only partially successful.
I think there's more than one cause for snoring, and its trial and error to see which treatmetn works for you.

What's an uvula?

Saw the thread title; thought it was about girls getting below bikini-line laser depilation.

You mean this:

Works a treat. Not guaranteed though. Painful recovery.

You'll need to ask your GP to refer you, and then find a surgeon who's good at it, and an NHS trust who'll pay.

It won't but at least you won't wake youreself up....

One of my Ex's thought about having this done as his snoring was very bad.

The consultant told him it would be one of the most painful procedures to have done and that it was only partially sucessful in solving the problem.
