I don't like how wet Ayr gel feels. Makes me feel like a dog with a wet nose!

I like Lanisoh best. It seems very expensive, but CVS at least sells "medical grade lanolin" in a purple tube right next to name brand Lanisoh for a few dollars cheaper. And really, you use so little that tube is going to last longer than ME!

I have another yucky cold (and asthma flare up, ARRGGGHHH!!!) and went through three masks last night. I finally used the LT for the last 4 hours of sleep, but now my nose sore is back. I don't seem to be able to use the lanolin WITH the nasal pillows--for me that makes them leak. I think it's time for a space helmet!!!!!!

I'm going to make some homemade Remzzz's tonight and see if the Quattro can make it all night. It seems to blow out when my pressures go up, but I'm also sweating a lot (probably from the asthma problems) so the seal gets slick and just won't stick. I was up a LOT last night!!!!!
