I purchased IQAir Medical-Grade Air – Allergies, Pets, Asthma, Odors, Smoke, Pollen, Dust; Swiss Made.
That was about 2 years ago. use it in the bedroom only. I also have 3 dogs. They contribute to breathing issues, but not so as I want to do away with them. I can say I have not seen a significant increase in air quality. Keeping the air furnace f…[Read more] -

I switched to a ResMed Bi-Pap with an oxygen connector as part of the tubing. Oxygen is set at 2 litres for sleeping. It is able to transmit back to the doctor my sleep results daily.

It has made a big difference in the Quality of night sleep.…[Read more]

Charlene,
Well, I’m still on Mycophenolate Mofetil, but now taking 500 mg-6 tablets per day along with 10 mg of Predisone. That has helped reduce the coughing and to some extent the phlegm buildup in my chest from overnight sleeping. Without using oxygen my levels drop to 79% when walking. So, reluctantly I will wear oxygen. My main gripe about t…[Read more] -

Well I have been on a medication for two weeks now called Mycophenolate Mofetil. It is 500 mg-2 tablets per day. I believe it has helped with the coughing slightly. According to the label it is used for lung transplants. However I had not had any lung transplants. And I have not really been on the medication long enough to reach whatever…[Read more]
