Questions about 02

I just started on 02 therapy last week and one difference that I have noticed is that nowI seem to be getting more hits.
What I mean is like last night I got woke up about 1:15 and hit the bottle almost right away.(Building up from about a 4) After 15min. @8ltrs pains was gone I stayed on the bottle for 5 min more then went back to bed in about 15 min.
Then low and behold aroung 4:30 My not a very nice person friend woke me up again for the same routine. This time I stayed up to get the kid off to school then rested for a couple more hours.
In the past I would only get rousted once a night this
time it's twice or more. The only difference between now and then is the 02 therapy. Is this normal for 02, or is this not a very nice person getting bigger and stronger, as we are both getting older.

That's hard one, Bill, and like any treatment we try it's always a bit of a lottery. I've had reasonable success with O2 over the years but well remember one cycle where it sent an ordinary kip6 to around 167.5 in the space of half a minute.
Best of luck as always, mate.

Most people swear by 12-15 LPM and a non-rebreather mask. if your not using these then you are probably not getting what you need out of the 02.
But then again im not a doctor, ive just had chronic CH for over 30 years 
Give it a try my friend....cant hurt

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.

Sounds like your just going into a peak cycle Bill. I agree with Jonny, a 15 Liter Per Minute regulator is worth the investment. I also put a link on the bottom of the page for a clustermasx, its inexpensive and makes a diffence.
Hang tough.
