Non-Rebreather masks

Hello, The last time I posted was about a year ago when I finally figured out what was wrong with my head. This being after having been misdiagnosed with sinus problems, migraines etc... So after I finally took matters into my own hands and after doing a little research on the internet I found this site and O.U.C.H., and I can't tell you what a relief it was to find others with the same symptoms as me and to know that my headaches had a name. The unfortunate thing was that shortly after my first post here I reached the end of my cycle and I never followed up with my neurologist. Well as you can tell I am back and I'm carrying the "devil" with me, so to speak. After my first "dancing" lesson I got on the phone and called my neurologist and got in to see him ASAP, so armed with a ton of info from this site and others I went in and begged, pleated and offered my first born to let me give oxygen a try. Dr. Reichert looked a little skeptical at first but I described all my symptoms going back 10+ years and convinced him to let me try oxygen and verapamil. I have to tell you that the first time I aborted the pain with oxygen I swear I heard Beethoven's Ode to Joy! The only problem I am having now is the medical supply company that gave me the oxygen stated they did not give out non-rebreather masks for home use due to the risk of suffocation. So when I have to go on oxygen I have to cup the mask with my hands in order for it to do any good. So my question is does anyone know if the non-rebreathers sold on Amazon are any good? Or do you know of another place on the web where I can get a decent one for a fair price? Here are the ones found on Amazon: 1st one 2nd one 3rd one 4th one 5th one Last one As always, thanks for all your support. Ellis

Just a side note. Cut the straps off of the mask. There is a slight chance of suffocation if you put the straps on, fall asleep, and run the tank dry. I suspect that was the company's "concern"...as chicken sh$# as it sounds!!!! Way to be your own advocate and DEMAND the 02. My wife swears when I'm on cycle I look at the green E-Tank with more love then I show her!!!! Guiseppi
