Re: CPAP: Day 0

... and I have returned. I should say, I do understand the basic concepts involved with sleep apnea and CPAP treatment. That being said, there is possible comorbidity involved in my chronic fatigue that that even if the therapy works flawlessly, my ever-tiredness may not be cured. So far as my first...

Re: CPAP: Day 0

Though I am extremely skeptical, Strange. Is it so strange? Chronic fatigue has been the state of affairs for me for some time. Being tired all day every day is just how the day is for me.

My follow-up is in one hour... what should I expect?

Hello. I only just found this forum; hence the eleventh-hour nature of my post. Two weeks ago, I had a sleep study done to test for sleep apnea. I was monitored by a tech who told me that, if apneas were detected, I would be placed on a cpap machine for the last few hours of the study such that data...
