Have recently been prescribed 3lpm~24/7. For those already on 24/7, how do you handle Showering?
Second ?....Anyone have a Cat and issues with 'said Cat' poking holes in trailing tubing?
I have both the bench and aa warm robe for when I get out, but I also use the oxygen when I am in the shower by pulling the cord over the shower door. I also have to move the tank closer to the… read more
I can second the recomendation for Ayr nasal spray. It's simple saline but so effective! I keep one by my work desk and one in my kitchen. When the furnace really starts to dry out the air, this… read more
Jean....I have been reading you for years and just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your answers about everything--you have such a calming effect and your answers are always sot-on. I am a RN… read more
Excessive fatigue is a symptom of many conditions other than COPD. I'd suggest you get checked out to begin to eliminate some possibilities.
I'm on a c pac machine of a night. And have oxygen 24/7. Unless I go anywhere then I wear oxygen tanks. My question is what is trilogy machine and what does it do.
Not an answer, but another question. Can you give any suggestions for air leaks around the mask? Love my ventilator and has helped a lot for sob. Seems every time I move it causes air leak on mask… read more

Thank you

I do find my legs get so tired easily. I’m so afraid of the need for oxygen 24/7. I know it’s the end game but I’m trying to hold off as long as possible. COPD members have said exercise and more exercise. This I must start.
Thank you. I’m in Fl so feel I must wait to I return to Canada end of April. I think that’s part of my stress.
Thanks Cbdavis.
My nose only tries to run from the top right corner but it's a constant. The inside however will be so dry it's painful and bleeding. Have humidifier to attach to concentrator as dr said maybe too dried out but when I hooked it up it almost drowned me and the company hasn't called me back to teach me how to attach even though I followed a video I found to show me since it was mailed to me with no instructions. Any solutions for the runny nose?
Yes Jean, I remember my Mother always had a Kleenex handy, and now it is Me! I really feel the oxygen has something to do with my runny nose. I take an Allegra allergy pill from time to time--seems… read more
