Pennsylvania Pastor Finds Sleep Relief with Inspire® therapy
Jilline Bond and her husband, James, love to serve others as pastors at their local church.
Jilline Bond loves to travel to visit people and do humanitarian projects, and she said she can continue to do this because of Inspire® therapy.
Jilline Bond and her husband, James, love to serve others as pastors at their local church.
The Lewisburg, Penn., couple have worked with the community for three decades, but their service was threatened a few years ago when Jilline started having problems sleeping.
Jilline Bond runs a service as a pastor at her local church in Pennsylvania, and she said she can continue to serve her community thanks to the restful sleep she is getting with Inspire® therapy.
She eventually was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but various treatments including a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine did not work.
Then came Inspire® therapy. Jilline qualified and was implanted in February 2021. She was activated a month later, and she said it was a “life-changing choice.”
Jilline knew something was wrong when she began to wake up feeling exhausted and drained of all energy. James also mentioned she was snoring.
Jilline Bond said it wasn’t long after starting Inspire® therapy that her energy levels increased, and it has been “life changing.”
A sleep study confirmed she had OSA, and this led her to a CPAP and a mouthguard. But she said the CPAP machine gave her headaches, and the mouthguard made her jaw stiff and sore.
Jilline was so frustrated that she stopped all treatment, but James told her that she stopped breathing regularly throughout the night.
It scared them enough that Jilline tried another CPAP machine, but she continued to struggle and woke up even more exhausted than before.
Jilline Bond and her husband James are both pastors in Lewisburg, Penn.
Jilline then saw an advertisement on Facebook, prompting her to make an Inspire therapy consult appointment.
She qualified and was implanted just a few months later, and it wasn’t long before she noticed an increase in energy.
Jilline Bond is an active grandmother and mother and her and her husband James are still very much in love. Bond said she is grateful for Inspire® therapy to help her have the energy to enjoy quality time with them all.
She also began to travel again, and her husband doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night worried she’s going to stop breathing.
The best effect? Jilline feels like she is always ready to serve those around her.
