I’m so glad you’re asking! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea at the same time as MAC in 2015. I suspect not too many people have both since most people with sleep apnea are overweight and most with MAC are underweight. But none of my doctors, including at NJH, have been interested in talking to me about my cpap.
I would love some solid information on cleaning and disinfecting the equipment, and on the effect of exacerbations on the effectiveness of the cpap.
What are your questions/issues?

Actually I guess I started the cpap in 2019 about the same time I started treatment for MAC.
