    I need to do that for sure. I’m still working and need the income and have not made the effort to go to rehab. Thanks for the reminder that it can help.

    Hi All,

    I have been experiencing extreme SOB.  I try to breathe through my nose and out my mouth to get the oxygen flowing but find I am so SOB that I can only breathe very rapidly through my mouth.   I can only move slowly and need to take a lot of breaks, but am not getting the benefit of the oxygen because of the mouth breathing and my O2 le…[Read more]

    For now, I’ve decided to use smaller tanks with a backpack and get used to carrying oxygen.  Maybe I’ll graduate to a POC but want to walk before I run!

    Hi Merideth, I wasn’t saying I didn’t need it, just was asking if the POC’s would help.  I do need it and would like to use a POC instead of a tank.  I’m pretty new to the diagnosis and trying to figure out how to take best care of myself.

    Thanks for the replies!  I’m seeing my Dr. next week and will bring up the points all of you have made.

    Thanks Sam…I think most of the shoulder – carried POC’s are pulse.  Is there a big difference between pulse and continuous?  I’ve been looking at the Inogen G5. If a recommendation could be made on a shoulder – carried POC it would be appreciated.

    My Dr. wants me on 2L continuous oxygen all the time.  If I exert myself, like going to the grocery store, I have to rest a few times and catch my breath, but am not using supplemental oxygen.  When I check my 02 levels they are in the low 70’s, sometimes in the 60’s.   In your experience using oxygen, does it get you to a healthy 02 level(89 or…[Read more]
