Re: Looking for help with swelling and pain from CPAP

How did they determine that your mom has dysautonomia, did they do automatic testing? If so have they looked for underlying causes that could explain the dysautonomia, sleep apnea, and joint problems? Have they considered connective tissue disorders?

Re: Looking for help with swelling and pain from CPAP

I am at a total loss as to what might be going on to cause such symptoms as a response to cpap therapy pressures. I just can't imagine anything that would cause it. It isn't common for sure. I have never seen such a complaint much less a solution for it if cpap was the cause. Just how bad is her OS...

Re: My personal experience with Inspire for Sleep Apneas

I am so very sorry for this clearly terrible experience you’ve had! Thank you for sharing this clear, thorough explanation of your experience. It certainly has made me take a step back when considering this device, and I hope other people who are considering it will read this! Best of luck to you!

Hello! I'm posting here as I'm at something of a loss, and I'm not sure where else to turn. I'm posting on behalf of my mother, who's been very ill with a slew of conditions (diagnosed sleep apnea being one of them) for many years. Her health has begun to decline even further, which has spurned me t...
