Among the many, many nasty sequelae to obstructive sleep apnea is chronic local and systemic inflammation, and inflammation is associated with pain.

Many here don't like the pap machines, but they solve problems associated with chronic inflammation (and dozens of other issues that we might not even know that we have.)

I started with my cpap machine thinking that I'll put up with it until something better comes along. After a month or so of adaptation (you need to have a desire to succeed and to keep your sense of humor for inevitable, minor issues) I found myself freed from a host of problems - my blood work normalized, my sense of well-being improved (it wasn't all that bad, it just went up from "okay"), and so many other things big and small.

That was almost 20 years ago. Now, I'm so adapted to my "sweet dream machine" that I wouldn't "dream" of sleeping, even napping, without it.

Eliminating alcohol and dropping 61 lbs (so far) has gotten rid of 95% plus of my formerly miserable insomnia inducing apnea.

Retiring 4 years ago gave me time and energy to pursue fitness as well as getting a rescue pet that just happens to be personal fitness chihuahua and motivational expert.

Mycondition, SA residual to Pain. Cpap, bipap, and all failed to work. I have just completed the pre-op procedure for Inspire. It is a device,10 yr battery, in your right chest area, with wires to your throat. Maybe it will solve the problem of cpap for me.

Could be, but I still think it’s mostly the IRS. Taxes burn me.
