I also had this exact thing happen to me. I thought I had Lupus, my rash was so bad. After reading your replies, I took my old respironics comfort flap and put it over my resmed mask. The rash was gone in three days. I see my dr. tomorrow and have...
Yes. I have an allergic reaction, too. I, too, am wondering why ResMed doesn't provide some solution. I have been all over the internet. I see where sleepweaver offers a half mask,but not a full face one.
That looks interesting. Unfortunately, it won't work for people (like me) who have to wear a full face mask.
I found a WONDERFUL mask after much research. It is made by AEIOMed and is called the Headrest. Look it up. NOTHING touches your face except the nose pillows. You must see it to understand how simple it is and how comfortable. I've also made a cov...
Got the RemZzzs....they slipped off the mask at night and I ended up with another burn. Did not work for me.
I have the same problem from the Activa mask, dose anybody at ResMed aware of this problem. I am sure it's a Chinese froblem as the masks are made in china, ResMed people get your act together and release some information about alergies caused by ...
Thanks Jim...I ordered them Saturday afternoon while putting burn cream on my nose :>
I actually made my own "barrier" out of a soft cotton until they get here and voila!...no more burn. My own was not the best....didn't fit well and blew in my ey...
I wrote several months ago and at that time, I got the lead from another blogger about the RemZzzs cpap mask liners. I bought a "sample pack" for ~$6.00 US and found them a wonderful solution. You get immediate results, especially if you also use ...
Okay...I'm back. Tried the Respironic and have a MAJOR burn like contusion on the top of my nose. It hurts like a burn. I'm back to square one.
Hi...I tried a gel mask and broke out from it also. I'm allergic to latex, and the doctor believes the breaking out is an allergic reaction to the silicone. My nose is itching like crazy. I've only been using CPAP about a month..have had nose pill...
Well, that's curious because after my post I took one of my older masks apart, removed the silicone part from it and replaced the newer mask's silicone part with the older mask's silicone part. Four days later my rash is almost completely gone.
M...
I called ResMed about this, and they said that they haven't made any changes to how they make their masks. They did ask if I still have the shipping information as it has the Lot #. The container that the mask came in could have caused a differenc...
I happened on this thread through a Google search. Very interesting, as this is exactly the same thing that I have been experiencing with my new ResMed full face mask.
One thing that I would add, and which I find odd, is that this only started ha...
I am very interested about these gel masks. I have also experienced some problems (contact dermatitis) as a result of my mask, & have tried just about everything--from switching mask brands, trying hybrids, &c.
Does anyone know of any good gel ma...
I just discovered the SleepWeaver Mask. It is all cloth. Really really want to try that!

I recently found Xyrem and it is the only sleep aid that works for me consistantly. I know that it is prescribed for narcolepsy but many with ME/CFS are now using it as well. Mr Doctor prescribed the free sample and now I am looking patient assist...
oh i know i just went to see a new doc and he wants me to change all my meds and only gave me 20 pills of 5mg ambien for 2 months, he was a jerk and so i will fire him and look else where. it took me a long time to even start to sleep now this new...
I've noticed people have mixed feelings about Ambien...I'm one of them. One time I took it, and was out for a good 8 hours...no problem. My mother had it, and it only worked for 4 hours for her. My Dad (since deceased) had Sonata, and since I'd lo...
I still haven't found the right med(s)...or I'll become immune to the effects, and need to figure something else out! It's exhausting! Then someone will tell me about something that works for them...I'll ask a few questions about side effects and ...
i am having trouble with the ambien not working but i dont know of anything else that has worked on me i been on so many things!!
i am the same way . i had a nervous breakdown 9 years ago now and i have had to be on 1 mg. lor. and 5 mg. plus seraqual. i hate it but if i dont take it i do not sleep. i wantthe sleep not the pills but i dont know of any other way to get sleep.i...
i always knew that i good 8 hours of night sleep will help to to feel better and to look better that why sleep 8 hours is so important good sleeping habits.
what does xyrem do? does it make you go to sleep and then help you wake up
