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
Thanks Fern. The H2's are not designed to be used long term anyway. They can kill too many good bacteria which leads to infection issues
I am very leary of our complex COPD meds and even moreso of… read more

Yesterday’s webcast is the one titled “Covid-19 updates for the COPD community” It’s the last one in the list; the others are also well worth watching if you haven’t already seen them.
Nebulizers are not prescribed for u. The medicine is and does not come with the machine.
I have grandchildren who I dearly love and who can only visit infrequently. They always have runny noses and I have copd. Does anyone else have that problem and what do you do? Thanks!
I really don't have an answer. I moved in with my son when my wife passed away in 2019. Have 4 grandchildren, 2 of which live with us. By the time I know they are sick, it's to late. They have… read more
I was discharged from the hospital on March 3 after spending ten days being treated for COVID-19, hypoxia, and bilateral pneumonia. I also have COPD and asthma. The hospital doctor sent me home with continuous use oxygen. I’m wondering if anyone else has been in the same/similar situation and may be able to tell me about how long I can expect to be on 24/7 oxygen.
Well said, Jean. It takes time to recover from any setback, and each person is different, with different needs and expectations. Secret is to start slow, and build up your body with healthy food and… read more
I would like to have a copy of this article that I can pick up and read and share with others I know that have COPD. Is there a possibility I could get a copy from somewhere?
Thanks for the hug.
I am in severe stage copd. I have always been warm blooded but My hands and feet seem to be cold quit often. At times I just can't get warm. Anyone else experience this problem? What causes this?
Invest in Bambillo bedding. Bamboo cotton sheets, pillowcases, and a Bambillo undersheet topper, or a merino wool undersheet topper with electric blanket. They're very good investments!
If so what is the dosage and do you have any side effects from it?
@A MyCOPDTeam Member yep and no no real side affects
anything but oxygen is a risk, After 30+ yrs on this rollercoaster ride I wouldn't do it.
Slow down and Breathe Eazy :-)
Got to stay positive. And take care of yourself. Stay safe people and we will see a end to this virus xxxx
