Anyhow, it's not being removed for snoring or apnea. I have burning mouth syndrome also, which I'm hoping is related to the uvula issue also.

Of course, I read nothing but horror stories online so looking for anyone that had experience with this. Thanks
A buddy had his removed as an attempt to stop his snoring. Didn't work for him and he claimed that afterward he had issues with milk coming out his nose. Couldn't get him to demonstrate same. Good to read here of so many successes. Good luck with that syndrome. Tough one.
