“Not made of latex.”

There are all kinds of problems with the masks for CPAP/APAP machines. I just mentioned latex as some are made and I have an alergy to it. Other substances are silicone, gel pack, and hard plastics. Each one has its own drawbacks. I used to use a mask called the dream weaver which was fabric and I was successful with it. But the company that made it stopped, and the people that supplied my equipment stopped sending them when their wearhouse ran out. Now I use hard plastic as it has no skin sealing problems. Just rolling over on to a non-forgiving substance. Can’t win.

Talked with my cardio guy about a sleep apnea implant but I already have a cardiomemms implant and they don’t get along well. One disrupts the other. So as each mask “improvement” comes out we try to...improve. Nothing on this rock is perfect.
