I believe Inspire has added years to my life by allowing my body and brain to get the oxygen it needs.

After using CPAP for many years it stopped working for me. To be able to breathe, I was sleeping in a recliner for 18 months while searching for a solution to my sleep apnea issues. I was absolutely thrilled to find Inspire. The ability to sleep in a bed and not in a recliner was life changing. I lost 95 pounds while searching for a solution before discovering Inspire.

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:

I tried CPAP for years, but when it was determined I needed a full-face mask I could not tolerate having my entire face covered. I suffered from claustrophobia and insomnia and Inspire seemed to be the best solution. I have no regrets.

Why am I a patient ambassador?

I am glad to share my experience so that others don't have to go through the misery I went through trying to find a solution to my sleep apnea issues. CPAP works well for some people, but not for everyone. Everyone deserves a good night sleep.
