Thank you gasp...you are great. I have never had rainout, so cant really be much help on that one. I would think if they could do a hose cover they could do a cover for the outside of the mask. lol But that would be asking too much.

I am glad last night worked for you. I will keep my fingers crossed that it is just the first of your good nights.

I have had moderate to severe asthma for about the last 20 years. I am extremely sensitive to scents. Perfumes and cleaning supplies are probably my biggest triggers however flowers, christmas trees and about anything else but the smell of food can trigger my asthma.

One year ago I was placed on Xolair and it has changed my life. I have gone from severe asthma one year ago to fairly mild asthma now. Still sensitive to cleaning supplies and perfume but now I can enjoy the smell of christmas trees and flowers.

I wanted to try pur-sleep but had a difficult trime justifying the expense considering my past history. However I was grateful for his latest trial and enjoy the smells during the night The scents have been very relaxing lately with the latest stresses in my life.

I'm glad the Xolair has helped reduce some of your allergens! Wouldn't it be great if we could find a solution to the chemicals now? I'm also glad you can use the Pur-Sleep. I too find them comforting, especially the Comfort oil : )
