Welcome Martin!
To a great forum. We are glad to have you with us!
I too have crackling in my lungs according to my doctors. Normal? I don’t know, I guess so. It does seem to come and go or maybe the doctors just don’t mention it all the time. No one has ever explained it to me but I believe it is probably the parts that have stiffened up t…[Read more]

Hi Charlene!

Hello Charlene!
Just a couple of things to correct. :>) I purchased the POC from Enron and was past the 30 day limit. But as it was so new I assumed they would possibly buy it back. Wrong! I would very much appreciate any help, suggestions, or advice that you might have for me to sell it. I would like to get 80% of what I spent out of it. I…[Read more] -

I own the Inogen G3 with 3 batteries. It is a pulse operating machine. It will provide up to 5l but will not provide continuous flow.It is nearly brand new as I purchased it in March or April of this year. After several stress tests my critical care doctor changed me to continuous flow as I was not getting enough oxygen on pulse. I called…[Read more]
