Rx for O2.. now what?
May 16^th, 2014 at 6:32pm

I am sure I can't just drop this prescription for the O2 and the mask off at ole Walgreens, and my physician was unsure of where I should send it.

Can you guys help?

Also, my testosterone came back low... 5 years ago. I can't imagine how far into the toilet it is now (getting a blood test tmrw). She wrote me a script for Testosterone Replacement Therapy, so perhaps that will help send the beast and his shadows back to hell where he belongs. If it works, I'll post about it - I did a ton of research on TRT and clusters before I went in - it's a fair bet that it helps.

This is a link that spells out how to get set up with Oxygen. I use APRIA, they're all over the country, contact your insurance to see how much they'll pay for. You need a big tank to keep in the house, with a mask and a regulator, and if possible, an E-Tank to keep with you in the car, which will also need a mask and a regulator. I'd start with the insurance company, see what they'll foot the bill for. Then call APRIA, make sure you specify a flow rate of at LEAST 15 LPM, preferably up to 25 LPM.

Please do share your TRT findings/success when applicable. -Gregg in Las Vegas

Phenomenal service. I had a business trip during a cycle and they were great in having an O2 tank set up in my hotel room when I arrived (the plane was a different story).
