CPAP silicone allergy: Anyone know of other options? Solutions?

Every time I use my CPAP, I break out in rash and get very little sleep. It is 2:26am and I woke up with less than 2 hours of sleep. Does anyone wake up with swollen hands and feet. Both are very painful but my doctor neglects these. One other thing that I find bad is my horrific nightmares. I am coming off of some meds.

Hi, @macjane -- that doesn't sound like fun at all to be breaking out in a rash and getting very little sleep every time you use your continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.

Wondering if it's just when you use your CPAP that you get swollen hands and feet? I also thought that you are connecting your horrific nightmares with withdrawal from some medications. Is that correct?
