Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation

Posted by JonJacobJingleheimerschmidt @jonjacobjingleheimerschidt, Jun 15, 2017

Hello! I'm curious if anyone has experience with the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation treatment (inspiresleep.com) I do not tolerate the CPAP and am feeling more hopeful about this alternative than from a dental device. So far I've read the website and watched their videos but it would be nice to hear about the experience from someone who's not connected to the company. I've gotten to this point because I've had two different CPAP's and countless masks. Nothing works. I simply cannot sleep using a CPAP. I have an appointment with a new sleep doctor (my former doctor retired) but cannot get in until November.

Thanks in advance!
JJ

I usually wake within 2-3 hours of putting on the cpap mask. Once awake I cannot go back to sleep with the mask so I remove. According to the sleep studies I have had, I have severe apnea and I worry about not waking up.
