Very jealous of those who can manage this. Personally i have to have one smallish bag just for my medical stuff (CPAP, ergonomic pillow for my neck, bunch of meds, the wrist braces I sleep in so I don't wake up with numb hands....)
I replaced my CPAP with a mouth guard that keeps my lower jaw forward to open my airway just for the purpose of not having to lug around a CPAP. Given how much CPAPs suck, I don't know why the mouth guard isn't the very first thing they try for people with airway obstruction.
Unfortunately it's not the sort of thing you purchase for a friend. You need to go to orthodontic specialist, get a custom mould of your teeth created (this can involve electrical stimulation of your jaw muscles in order to get them into a relaxed position), and titration of the apparatus after the lab delivers it.
I got a tooth protector (the kind that's used for boxing) on amazon with a self-mold: you return it to the company that makes the final plastic thingie for you.
That'd be the preferred option, as it doesn't require any prescription or interaction with a specialist whose interest might not be aligned with the patients (multiple office visits = an opportunity to milk the insurance for more money)
If no company offers an option, I see an opportunity there!
