Non-Rebreather masks

Hello, The last time I posted was about a year ago when I finally figured out what was wrong with my head.  This being after having been misdiagnosed with sinus problems, migraines etc...  So after I finally took matters into my own hands and after doing a little research on the internet I found this site and O.U.C.H., and I can't tell you what a relief it was to find others with the same symptoms as me and to know that my headaches had a name.  The unfortunate thing was that shortly after my first post here I reached the end of my cycle and I never followed up with my neurologist.  Well as you can tell I am back and I'm carrying the "devil" with me, so to speak.  After my first "dancing" lesson I got on the phone and called my neurologist and got in to see him ASAP, so armed with a ton of info from this site and others I went in and begged, pleated and offered my first born to let me give oxygen a try.  Dr. Reichert looked a little skeptical at first but I described all my symptoms going back 10+ years and convinced him to let me try oxygen and verapamil.  I have to tell you that the first time I aborted the pain with oxygen I swear I heard Beethoven's Ode to Joy!  The only problem I am having now is the medical supply company that gave me the oxygen stated they did not give out non-rebreather masks for home use due to the risk of suffocation.  So when I have to go on oxygen I have to cup the mask with my hands in order for it to do any good.  So my question is does anyone know if the non-rebreathers sold on Amazon are any good?  Or do you know of another place on the web where I can get a decent one for a fair price?
 
Here are the ones found on Amazon:
 
1st one
2nd one
3rd one
4th one
5th one
Last one
 
As always, thanks for all your support.
Ellis

Just a side note. Cut the straps off of the mask. There is a slight chance of suffocation if you put the straps on, fall asleep, and run the tank dry. I suspect that was the company's "concern"...as chicken sh$# as it sounds!!!!  
 
Way to be your own advocate and DEMAND the 02. My wife swears when I'm on cycle I look at the green E-Tank with more love then I show her!!!! Grin
