2022 large roaplike whelps( uticara) over entire body chicken pox like sores on buttocks
End of 2022 Psoriasis developed behind knees
Md placed me on Claritin 40 qd 50 Benedryl hs disappeared
But only Mirtazipine stopped i million ant iching i had since 2017
Toxins and styrofoam inhaled from recalled Cpap thoght to be catalyst to all autoimmune responses. Any other cpap users experiencing any autoimmune responses

I had both a Philips Dreamstation and a Dreamstation Go CPAP unit that were part of the recall that I replaced with a ResMed AirMini. I have not had any autoimmune or other conditions/problems related to the recall from my use of a CPAP that started in late 2018. For others not familiar with the issues at hand, here is the latest FDA update:
