Greetings from Sweet Remission
Apr 7^th, 2010 at 11:32am

Dear Friends,

I've been in remission for 2+ months now. Ahhhh, sweet relief and back to normal life. O2 tanks just left the house. Then the thought occurred that I could and maybe should, visit this board outside of a cycle, not just in cycle, even if just to say "Hello".

My last cycle struck much sooner than expected (after shorter-than-usual remission), so I remain on guard, hoping for the best.

Wishing PFDANs to us all, and remission forever.

Can I ask why? You may not have a cycle again for 2 yrs. or it could start up again in 2 months. Be prepared has always been our motto here and not having your arsenal when you need it, is pretty scary. A lot of episodics stockpile in the off season, if you will, and say it gives them some comfort knowing they are ready for the next onslaught.

I live in a relatively small apartment, and it seemed unsafe to have the O2 tanks around, if I don't need them. When the last cycle struck I had no problem getting the O2 fast.

But now you have me thinking it was a mistake, and I should have found a corner in a closet to stash them. Live and learn.

No more unsafe than when you DO need them. BUT....they aren't unsafe anyway. Several e-tanks in a closet for when you need them are "GOLD"

Everyone here who swears by 02, looks at their e-tanks with a mixture of hate, love and awe.

Small apt. or not....I'd sell most of my clothes to make room for m'tanks. Wink

I'd want to keep a tank around. To me, having one around shouldn't be a problem if you use a little common sense.....and you seem to have a lot of it. Charlie

Ah, but he's a d*mn smoker. There goes common sense. Partially explains the O2 paranoia. I'll work on it. (He says with trepidation.)
