Has anyone here tried the Inspire device for obstructive sleep apnea? [View all]
I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP is out of the question and so are mouth devices. So, my options are surgery or the Inspire device.
Surgery would be very painful, but I am a little freaked out about having an electronic device inside my body that is attached to nerves and has a remote control. I feel like that would make me a cyborg, and that is creepy to me.
I honestly don't WANT to do any of it, but they say I have to since I also have atrial flutter and apnea makes it worse. This seems to be my best option according to my ENT doctor, and I do trust him very much.
If I could just hear from someone who has done this successfully, it might help. Or if you have horror stories, tell me that, too. I just need advice one way or the other. Can anyone help?
