Oh, no. You're kidding. Is this right? I never heard that before. I posted some questions about efficacy before I pusued this line of treatment, and I think most replies said it is effective for people who have mild or moderate apnea but not severe. (I have moderate)

I never heard that it only reduces RDI by 10 to 20 percent!

Can anyone else report their own device story? If this is the concensus, then I'm not even going to bother pursing it for more than a week. This is very discouraging news.


"take a good test (not pat-100 from itamar)"

I dont know what you mean by that parenthetical part of your sentence. What is "pat-100 from itamar?"
