I had a frustrating visit with him, as he did not mind my request for how to set my CPAP machine for better results, even though I had taken it with me for this visit. He did not answer all of my questions or had any interest for the complications that I have had with CPAP therapy for around 11 months. He just said that the last month is okay so continue what you have been doing. He said that fatigue is different from sleepiness, but did not explain how. The examples he brought up was not relevant to my situation and medical conditions.
