Hi Charlene,

Before I ask my face mask related question, I want to thank you for your column. I’m 26 and new in the IPF world and I have read pretty much everything you posted. It has really helped me a lot!

And now, for my question, is it still possible to have your nasal cannula in while using the Vogmask or does the mask cut the oxygen flow? I started getting worried about air pollution and those nasty particles as I am reading that the air in my hometown is really bad lately, so I was thinking that the Vogmask could be helpful. I don’t plan on visiting back home while the air is this bad, but I am worried that it might affect my lungs even when it gets a bit better.

Thank you!
