O2: Where to get it! DFW, TX

My neuro gave me RXs for Topomax and for Oxygen. The Topomax ended a 4 month bout (the first major one I had had since 1965!) so I believed I was home free for another 40 years. Apparently not, as I seem to be starting over again.
So, now I am very anxious to get Oxygen and find it is not that easy. The only nearby medical supply only had an oxygen concentrator that delivers a maximum of 5 liters/minute. Not only will that not do, it is obvious these folks did not accurately read my prescription that clearly calls for 10/15 ltr/min with a non-rebreather mask.
Where, in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport area, can I find the proper equipment? I thought this would be the easy part!

Beck,
Any medical supply can get a 15 lpm regulator (they may have to order it, BUT they CAN get it). Just tell them what you need (the script should, but tell them anyhow).
Lordy, I live in Hicksville USA (way out in the country) - Red Hill TX and I didn't have to wait but two days for the medical supply to get mine. The O2 SHOULD be the easy part.
Let us know if you're still having problems.
Hugs BD

txbeck,
I live in Arlington and my bf has been trying to get the proper O2 Prescription since he was 6. Can you refer us to the doc who gave the prescription to you?
Thanks a billion

Dr Scott Hall in Bedford, so it should be pretty convenient to Arlington too, and he has the most efficiently run office of any doc I've known in 66 years. I really like him and he seem to know his stuff.
