It may not make any difference in every circumstance, but I believe it can help.ems wrote:Always tired wrote:I would wish that all of the engineers, designers, machinists, mold makers, and people that write tech manuals regarding Xpap equipment have OSA as a requirement of employment.
The person who helped me choose my first mask had OSA. You would have thought that would have been a benefit... it wasn't. Looking back now, I wasn't fitted properly and she didn't have any idea what she was doing.
My Sleep Doctor had OSA for many years prior to my Sleep Study.
He suggested a mask based on what was used for the titration night of the Sleep Study.
He also told me that was what he was using.
I told the DME provider I wanted that specific mask.
It worked perfectly.
I am one of those lucky ones where everything worked for me from day one.
And that was 14 years ago.
