I put triple antibiotic on it and it's almost gone but I think the diaper rash cream sounds like a good idea Mari! If it returns I will use that next time. I am glad I pulled it out of the closet too, I was feeling so run down it wasn't funny, and I feel like that now because of not using it for a few days already, but I know that deep sleep is coming back as soon as I feel the skin there under my nose can handle having rubber on it for 8 hours.

Thanks for caring! Thanks everyone!

Dar Pam,
Deep sleep sounds good.

Maybe you could call up the manufacturer and light a fire. <joke>
Some dude somewhere really should be able to make those masks more comfortable.

Well truth be told the old mask was two sizes too big so hopefully this newer one I got in size small will work out better and not do what the old one did. I have not used it more then the one night when the sore appeared the next morning and tonight I think I am going to set it up and use it. If I can make the space on the dresser for it, I have to get in there and put some laundry away and hopefully then the kid won't mess with it too much.

Anyway I will post again once I have used the new mask tonight. Hoepfully feeling much more rested by tomorrow, because I am yawning a lot by the afternoon and early evening, whereas the nights I slept with it on I don't yawn during the day and my eyes don't water or anything like they are now.

SO here's to getting some hard work done and getting the deep sleep I really need tonight.
