Hi,@macjane,@mamacita
here. I commend you, first off, for so thoroughly detailing your situation with the sleep mask. I have sleep apnea myself, and have been without a C-Pap mask for a long time now.

Now we all know that is not a good thing, as sleep apnea has many side effects that are quite worrisome. But then, neither are vicious skin eruptions that bother you to no end. I cannot diagnose your condition, as I am not in any way whatsoever qualified to act in place of a Board Certified Physician.

What I can do, as someone who has developed many, many allergies over the years, is suggest contacting the CEO of the company from where you made your purchase. My PHD mother in law made it her life's work after she retired! You cannot imagine the responses she received.

She made phone calls, sent emails, but always followed up with a letter, thus leaving a paper trail of her actions. She also researched to death the side effects of certain medications. She didn't have allergies, but I certainly did. And still do. Latex and silicone happen to be two of the ones that make me break out

Please let me know how your search turns out. I wonder if a sleep specialist could order a new study for you, since the old one is too big anyway? And Congratulations on the weight loss! Don't give up. We are here for you.

The company has quite a bad reputation. I think I also left out how physically sick I have been since February. The company has such poor ratings but our Medicare and Tricare for Life medical coverage provides the worst medical equipment suppliers. They have pages of horrific ratings and lost a huge lawsuit against them in another state. I am trying to see if I should leave my Pulmonary/Critical Care doctor and seek help at the Mayo Clinic for MAC.
