I’ve already seen the doctor, the sleep study was without the CPAP…. the worst three nights of my life in the last several years. My numbers don’t look like that with the CPAP, but the hose is really starting to bother me after 9 years because the older I get the more I toss and turn in my sleep, so I wanted to inquire about inspire, especially as I travel, lugging around the CPAP is taking up way too much valuable space in my suitcase, preventing me from bringing additional souvenirs home … kek
I can't argue with you about the hose. But I have a way of dealing with it that seems to work. I drape the hose so that it comes up from the backside of the bed, over the pillows, to connect with the swivel joint on the top of my mask. I can sleep to either side or supine, and the hose just drapes back from my head, over the edge of the mattress, and under the headboard. I can't imagine doing it any other way. Entanglement would be a certainty. As a last resort, when my old CPAP unit tried to strangle me (long story), I took up sleeping in my TV recliner chair so my airway could be mainly vertical and the sagging tissues would not be a problem.
I looked up Inspire. Seems ingenious. My concern would be how often the battery would need to be replaced. Is the whole unit surgically implanted, or are there wire penetrations to the control / battery pack? Good luck.
