Oxygen Question

What I was saying was to do the walk test with a portable tank set at 4 or 5 pulse. Then you can find out if you can use a pulse regulator and not desat. If you can then you can use smaller tanks and carry it in a back pack or something.

<br />Honestly, it sounds like you may be on oxygen for a while, so you need to just accept it and move on. If you are just sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself then you are not living. I would find out what your options are so you can be more independent, whether it is a home fill or a liquid setup. Tell your doctor you want to be tested on these systems. Otherwise, I would be looking to other options and definitely look into having a second opinion, etc.

Thanks for your reply, I am sitting home, but that is because I am still not over my exacerbation. I don't really think I am feeling sorry for myself, though I do have my moments. I do not plan on staying on o2 though
