Hi Denise � Hopefully the mask will be a little more comfortable once they make adjustments for you. Do tell your doctors how you are feeling. Sometimes they can switch whatever meds you are on for something that could work a little better. When my son had some swelling in his throat, it turned out to be a reaction to some meds he was on and they gave him two shots of Benadryl which took care of it. Everyone responds differently of course and this may not be the cause in your case, so it�s best to mention anything worrisome to your doctor. It�s good that the sweet potatoes are working pretty well for you � try to stay hopeful that the side effects will go a little slower and easier to manage. Let us know how it goes for you.
