Find a welder's supply house - all that live bait you have is going to die if you don't get a big tank of O2. ;)

Another option: call the social service dept at your larger hospitals (plural). Often they offer low cost clinics, M.D.s, and meds.

You can pick up a tank from AirGas on Highland (south of Sahara) or their Losee Road location in NLV. Don't tell them you are breathing it or they will not sell/refill to you.

Just buy the tank and bring it back as needed for refills. They also do rentals, but believe their credit department is a two week wait, so much easier just to purchase a tank.

Their largest tank (about 4 feet high) is around $300 filled and you own it. Refills are around $28 bucks.

You can get a high flow regulator from Harbor Freight tools, multiple locations valleywide.

And lastly a NON-rebreather mask from ch.com store-see yellow tab/left side of your screen.

If you need help setting it up or with breathing techniques, let me know.

Combine my previous re. seeking low cost care at a local hospital with....

If you can find care from a hospital clinic you could get a preventive med, such as Verapamil, which would give a preventive effect rather than depending on the short life impact of O2. Actually, Verap would cost less than oxygen, especiallly when you consider the length of effect.

Not sure what to think of this plea for "HELP!"...was this sincere or a troll?

This member has been registered for about two years and never posted until this day. Then about 15 minutes later, copy/pasted the exact same on a different board.

S/he never signed online since to read our offers of help, nor read the PM sent offering one-on-one help within Las Vegas. Hmmmm :-/

It's not everyday I would be willing to lend a complete stranger my one and only o2 tank, but the offer was made.
