John,
Print some of these posts off the board about O2 and take them to your doc. You need it at 8liters or more for 15-20 min each time. And you must have a face mask NOT the nose thingy.
That's the secret. High volume for a little while with a face mask. Don't let them do it any other way - it doesn't work unless it's done right.
A cup or two of coffee always helped me when the pain was under a 5. Drink the coffee and suck the O2.
If it gets real bad, get it from a welding shop or go to the fire station. That's worked for a few on here.
Hugs BD
