Inspire?

[Stressbaker]

I have sleep apnea and use an APAP machine. I am having a terrible time with it and it is ruining my sleep instead of improving it. My pulmonologist mentioned I would be a good candidate for the new Inspire product. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on using this device? TIA!

Just read your question? I have been on Cpap/apap since January. It has been a nightmare. I am requesting my primary doctor send me to a specialist to inquire about Inspire. The AHI numbers are totally bogus. My sleep doctor tells me I am fine, but am becoming sicker and sicker. I am also seeking answers on Inspire. Good luck.

Good luck to you also! If you do end up getting the Inspire please post how it is going for you. My doctor wanted me to try a different mask first.

tried at least 8 different masks. They either don't fit well, or hurt like crazy if tightened enough to stop leaks. They leak, fart, rub sores and are just plain ghastly. Who sits around and designs these nightmarish medical devices?
