Welcome.
So that you know you're using it properly, did you read the oxygen info link over to the left? Good luck! |

And BE SURE you're using the RIGHT MASK... and the right flow rate...

Welcome to the club, glad you found us. Hope the 02 proves the miracle for you it has been for me. Do you have any other prevents or abortives that help you?

Welcome to our little lunacy club. I'm just sorry that it has to be because of this horror. Believe it or not most of these loons really have some good ideas. The O2 one is one of the best examples.
I hope you stick around and let us know how you're doing. Charlie |

Thanks,
The O2 seams to work ok but I didnt get a mask. They gave me the little nostral hose thing. I take imipramine at night to prevent. I have imitrex injections and nasal spray. But they are expensive and I don't like taking medication. |
Title: Re: New Guy Post by Linda_Howell on May 16th, 2009 at 3:24pm Oh MY.....the old nasel cannula again? When will these people understand...Sheesh. You MUST have a non-rebreather mask and a regulator that goes to at least 12...more is a faster abortive. Those stupid nasel things are for patients with a chronic lung condition at very low LPM. Over on the left click on that yellow 02 link and you will see pics of what I'm/we're talking about. If who delivered your 02 gives you a run around about getting the mask, send me your address in a PM and I will send you several. It might even be faster that way. Linda |

Thanks Linda,
The nasal thing is what they gave me, I have seen the masks on here and will try to pick one up tomorrow at Apria healthcare store. If they dont have one I will order it from this site. Thanks for the help. I have done quite a bit of research and the O2 is working for me so far. |
