He sent in for 500 mg. for 90 days. Then I see that it will cost me $447.00--I said no thanks!! Is this typical to pay? Is it really a difference maker in using it??
Check your neighborhood for a free clinic, @A MyCOPDTeam Member. Some will take rx’s, even if opened.

Learning Which Size Of Nasal Cannula To Use
Learning Which Size Of Nasal Cannula To Use
I would like a resource on different types of cannula's and how to fit yourself. Some with small spikes don't deliver enough. Others with bigger spikes seem to whistle. I hate that a company just dropped off a concentrator and a nasal cannula and left. I ordered some new ones to try, but a few of them have long long tails, others don't feel right.

How Do You Deal With Twisted And Pinched Air Hoses?
How Do You Deal With Twisted And Pinched Air Hoses?
Mine keeps getting all twisted. I'm only on oxygen at night. Keep the compressor in the other room. The hot keeps twisting and eventually causes a pinch or fold. I straighten it out every couple days. This is the first hose, only 6 months old.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it time for a new hose already?
Get a bunch of 7-foot hoses and swivel connectors to connect them together to whatever length you want. The smaller lengths are then easier to straighten out than a long 50-foot hose.

Pulmonary dr prescribed 2 for oxygen machine. I received a pulse-portable and experienced sob at 2. The respiration therapist said to set it at 4 because I am not on a continuous oxygen machine. And 2 when sitting down…. When at 4 my oximeter says my O2 stat is 97-99. Is this right? What should my stat be? Still get sob sometimes at 4 but oximeter says okay. I am so confused

I Am A Severe COPD Emphysema Diagnosis Patient. I Had An Exacerbation And Spent Ten Days In The Hospital.
Fortunately I was not on a ventilator. The whole time I was there the Drs.and respiratory dept. wanted a sputum specimen but I could not get it past my voicebox. So my Dr. ordered a percussion vest. Has anyone used one and if so what can I expect? I have to wait a month before it gets here.
Have to be careful to because if you knock to hard apparently you can cause a Pleural Effusion.

I'm trying to get a transplant, I've been on diazepam for 20 yrs & the transplant at BJC wants me to quit my Dr said to ween off so I am doing that & I got tested again & it came back positive so I think they might take me off list is thated alright for them to do?
