Has Anyone Ever Gotten Off Of The Use Of Oxygen 24/7?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was put on oxygen 24/7. i have been going to the pool in my city to swim 3days a week. to try and get back to O2 use only at night again.
i started rehab last week and they told me it's not good to be off the O2 when i'm in the pool. i don't feel the need for O2 when i'm in the pool.
has anyone been ably to get off O2 use this way.

Trelegy Vs. Spiriva And Symbicort
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently taking Spiriva and Symbicort daily. The costs have skyrocketed. I can save $100 if I switch to Trelegy. Question is, will it be as effective? I'm a little worried to change over so any opinions would be welcomed. My doctor is willing to let me try. Thanks.

I’ve been on Trelegy for a bit and I’ve had decent luck with it. I got a savings card on their website and pay $5 a month for it.

Oxygen Using Humidifier Seems To Lower O2 %
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Been looking at my Oxygen % on oxymeter and noticed when i'm on home unit with water i seem to have a lower O2 Level. So i took water off and watched my oxygen levels . Definitely went up 2 % or more without water. Looks like feeding the oxygen through the water bottle pulls some oxygen out of the flow. Btw i'm on 6 liters.

You can use the water bottle tube with the main tube cut so thst the oxygen coming out only aereates the top of the water. You will still get some moisture just not as much as the tube going to the… read more
