    Looks like this is what I am looking for.I have lost weight and find I have little appetite so I take protein shakes add a half banana some peanut butter. This fills me up and allows me to take my Ofev pill.I am told to add more calories to my diet so am always looking for tips from these pages.Thanks

    Good Morning Charlene.Since I have been on oxygen since March of this year and am on it 24/7 I have a 40 liter tank of liquid oxygen in my basement another 20 liter tank in my truck which I use mostly while camping to fill my 2 portable tanks,It takes a little time to figure out the best way to drive with the portable tanks.I try and secure them as best I can on the floor between the legs is not a good idea.I am able to secure them in the back seat using a 7 foot hose which gives me plenty of freedom to drive and only takes a few seconds to remove from the back seat.I use the seat belt to make sure that it is secure.I live in Waterloo Ont.and was told by the specialist that I have I.P.F.in March.I was being treated for C.O.P.D.for the past 5 years so I left to wonder why my family Dr.took so long to send me to a specialist.I am taking all this in very slowly as my life has changed forever with this.
