Has anyone tried the new OSA device, Genii or Inspire!
I was diagnosed with OSA last March, after suffering with insomnia for 10+ years. I am still having trouble getting to and staying asleep. I’m taking medication to help me sleep. However, I still feel extremely fatigued. I am wondering if anyone has tried Inspire or the newest device, Genio. I appreciate any information.

Hi update
I could not tolerate the inspire device I'm a light sleeper the small shock would keep me up every time it would set off during the night went back to the CPAP with the smallest nose mask they the Dr. said to start at 12 found out to much air to start so i ask my friends that use the Cpap told me to start at level 4-5
WOW that really help me ...
Now Im at level 9 over 5 months it,s the BEST

Hi I also bought the hose arm that clamps to the top of my head board so when I sleep an move around it does not disturb my sleep so far so GOOD now I am going to try mouth tape.
Ps. I started my sleep Machine @ level 4 felt like nice summer breeze with the window open
Thanks for the info. Im also a light sleeper so this concerns me. I'll mention that to the dr on Tues.
I'm so happy for you for finding success with your CPAP!
Forgot to ask. Will you have the Inspire removed?
Hi
Yes I ask to have it removed
Dr. now tells me the opposite that its Major Surgery to have it removed to wait an see if in the future they can improve on it .
Also for me the shock was like when I was a kid 55 +plus years ago an would test my transiter radio 9 volt battery with my tongue so they lowed the charge but still no help
Well, that sounds terrible! Did you ever try the mouth piece that pulls your tongue forward? I'm going to try that, I think.
@sherrys56 They work for a few....but not for many. The gold standard of care for obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by a sophisticated machine using sophisticated algorithms.
