PAP treatment for apnea is a numbers game.
A certain percentage will get immediate and dramatic results. I fit into this category.
Others seem to not get any benefit ar at least varying degrees.
Yhis is the 128th forum and virtually all of them address this very subjective topic.
I highle advise you to go back and browse MANY of them to get a feeling, then get your study done and have a very positive attitude.
Do not get discouraged, the new friend in bed with you is a stranger and it takes some time to get accustomed to it.
If you get a bad mask that does not work for you, then you will be frustrated. Insist on trying several till you get one that works for you.
Do NOT be intimidated by the DME. Most know much less than most users here. It is your money and your health.
All here have been thru it and will be glad to hold your hand in this journey.
Good luck.
