question:
I have one of those oxygen producing machines that you just plug into the wall outlet but I do not have the mask which covers the nose and mouth so I simply put the tubing into my mouth and take deep breaths.
Is this OK?
Also I was wondering if anyone knows why the physician required a drug screening(at least in my case) before prescribing me the oxygen 
and does anyone know if Imitrex is available across the boarder cheaper?

on the links at the left, check out oxygen info and it'll show ya exactly what is the best way to use oxygen 
as to why the doc required drug screening, i don't know a lot of docs seem reluctant to go this route. I had a heck of a time initially convincing my doc to give me a perscription for o2. He was more than happy to perscribe me every damn drug under the sun, but got all weird about the o2. I had to push it hard.
best of luck and pain free wishes***

Yes, its ok, but why not just go to a medical supply store and buy a mask?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
