I’ve been waking in the mornings more and more with a dull headache. It usually improves as the day goes on. I know that can be a sign of CO2 retention, but I don’t feel short of breath and my most recent FVC was 75%. I do sleep lying flat, and it feels comfortable.

In the months since, the calf twitching has decreased but I have developed...
