Title: Little Green Oxy Tanks!
Post by markiemark on May 12^th, 2004, 3:51am

Im only a month old so dont beat me up too bad !
Does anyone know how these e tank generators work for O2, and does the darn thing replace the tank with real med, grade o2? I got a perscript from the Doc, and my med supp Co is all over me. They say now I dont have to be P/U all them tanks and I admit when Im in CH episode I do go through plenty.
PS O2 really works its a miracle!!
thanks to everyone!
painfree Wednesday!! [smiley=bow.gif] [smiley=bash.gif]

When I am in the really heavy stage of my cycle I easily use 3 e-tanks a day and going to the supplier every other day to get refilled. My supplier knows about cluster headaches, as does my doctor, and I am never questioned. zLet them know that you aren't selling the O2 on the black market (that's a joke, of course) and put them at ease.

M&M...it depends on how much o2 *YOU* need to abort the MOFO. Some people only need 5-8 lpm which is what an o2 generator will produce. Most need a higher flow rate....like 10-12-15 lpm.

Be glad...be VERY glad your doc gave you the oxygen 'script and that o2 works for you....

Good luck ....Steve(N4H)

O₂ generators do work, mine puts out 95% pure O₂. All you are doing is refilling your e-tanks for them, less hassle for you and them. I never could keep those little bastards from rolling around and tearing up the inside of the car. How long did they say it would take to recharge an E tank 2-3 hrs or so?
