Hi !
I have been recently diagnosed chronic respiratory failure, outcome of diaphragmatic emi-paresis of unknown origin, presumably a neuromuscular one. So far I wish that the illness concerns this muscle only, but who can say ?
Being a newbie in noninvasive ventilation, I find demanding to get used to BiPAP, mainly because of the air flow leaking out from the mask and falling in my eyes.
It dries and redden them in a short time, up to force me to stop the treatment; an ophthalmologist has assured that no disease are involved except the above inconvenience.
I wear by now a good mask, equipped with a silicone frame, but a further protection is clearly required to fix the issue.
I met this forum by chance but I'm very glad to share experiences and I have decided to post this message because many of you are surely skilled in tips and trick of noninvasive ventilation practice.
Any hints is highly appreciated !
I'm from Italy and hope you forgive my childish English !
