Title: How do you get 02???
Post by court88 on May 9^th, 2005, 12:27pm

Everyone keeps talking about how well 02 works for them? Will my doctor just give it to me? HOw do I get it? I am 30 years old and miserable. I don't go more than 1 day without a head ache. I only see an internist...would she give it to me? HELP! This is not fun..I take topamax, excedrin migraine (twice/day) ambien at night and xanax if I'm in a lot of pain. 02 sounds great...

You doctor can write you a prescription for it.

And after you get the prescription for it, look up "Lincare" in the phone book. I see you live in San Fransisco so they should have one near you. They are the BEST!!!!

Might as well skip the Excedrin/Migraine. Won't do squat for the pain.

Probably the name of the company that will supply your O2 after you get a script for it. Where I live there is Apria and Home Health United.

The best O2 supplier in San Francisco is Golden Years Medical 415-333-0746.

When I checked with Lincare in S.F. (twice) they only had regs up to 8 lpm.

Golden Years has 15 lpm regs, E tanks and H tanks, non-rebreather masks, excellent service (same day or next day delivery) and is much cheaper than Lincare.
