Re: Re: I have a couple Questions If I May, 1st About Oxygen Therapy,2nd Antibiotics

Barb can I ask what you were on long term antibiotics for? Btw I think this last

round of fungal and bacterial infection turned systematic (the fungal part)--I

had symptoms of breast yeast infection that nursing mothers get--extremely

extremely painful. Diflucan helped immensely--cleared it up, thank God. Allergy

/ inflammation symptoms always there but this current battle with infection

serms to have been won ( temporarily, I'm sure!).

This long term antiB is why I resist treatment for " chronic Lyme. " thankfully dr

agrees that until I get out of toxic situation, we wouldn't be able to tell

effect of lyme treatment anyway and so are holding off.

nne, I see oxygen tanks on Amazon.com. You might check there for prices.

There return policy on most things is pretty good. Thanks for info on oxygen

concentrators, have thought of those for headaches.

Re: antibiotics: I have been on long term antibiotics and went off of them

myself bec feeling so badly. I had trouble w systemic candida and I think it

causes it to flare even if I have prev gotten it under control. Difflucan made

me feel better and probiotics. Trying to get my gut in shape again. I'm

beginning to think even for things they recommend long term antiB which aren't

many things but there are some, I think you need to take a break from them and

let your own immune system take a crack at whatever is ailing you and let your

gut heal again, then if you need to go onto antiB again, so be it.

When I first started on the antibiotics a swollen, painful lymph gland cleared

up and skin improved in areas; then things leveled off and saw not much

improvement. At first when I went off of antibiotic, some flare up in skin and

other things that made me feel like I was sliding backward (except for the

swollen lymph node. That never came back, so accomplished that), but after a

couple of weeks off of antiBs I started to see those things clear up again so I

think initially my system missed the antiB I was taking and I slide backward,

but after awhile my own immune system started to take up the slack.

Now I am about at same level as when I was on antiB even though I am not on

them, so I guess I had gotten used to that one and it wasn't doing much anyway

except to mess up my gi tract, so trying to do whatever I can to help my own

immune system and get my gut back in shape. I might take a wack at it again w

antiB, don't know yet.

The length of the oxygen cylinder will depend on the cylinder size and the

setting you put it on.  If you call an oxygen company the can give you

ranges.

Barb,

Doc put me on this long term regiment for deep resitatant nasal staph

test that came back positive. Three different anti biotic`s to boot.

I feel like hell and can`t seem to get on track even with about 5 days of anti

fungal meds. Anti fungal meds usually put me over the edge so I cut the dose in

half. I`am hoping my body will eventually

get itself back on track on its own but to tell you the truth its a bit scary to

feel this badly again.

Btw, I need oxygen off and on through out the day for the face and head pain.

How long do the metal cylinders last with oxygen?

Do you know?

Thanks,

nne

The device is called a regulator.  Barb the reason why yours may beep is

because some people do stop breathing at night, some people with sleep apnea or

a brain REM problem.  Or maybe another condition it allerts you the oxygen is

not flowing.

I only use oxygen occasionally so I have not timed it. I have largest tank I

could buy and carry so I wouldn't have to run after oxygen so much. Its aluminum

and not heavy. It is not a tank for medical grade oxygen as I could not get a

script at the time. I could now but I already have this one, it is for aviator

emergency oxygen, a lower grade but for the occasional use I need, it's okay.

Did they sell you one of those concentrators that make oxygen out of the air you

live in ?

God Bless !!

Thanks for all the info. that sounds like the type of tank I would

need. The last time I talked to the people at the oxygen place

they kept telling me it would not be affordable for me to get a tank

so they convinced me to get the concentrator. Hence I ended up with

the concetrator issues buy buying one . They all are made of plastic

and must have this dangerous chemical output. I need to get rid of it. Its

making my face hurt more than it helps.

I`ll call her tommorrow..I just dont know how often it will be to have it filled

if I use it regularly. But I guess I`ll find out.

The setting has to be on one of the numbers, if it i set to continuos use it

will give oxygen all the time.  The setting are on the regulator.

Someone posted some information about this tank a few weeks ago and I found it

on Amazon.com. This one has a regulator w it but I don't think that is the same

thing I am talking about that I have. My tank has a flow regulator but also I

have an extra gadget that only allows oxygen to flow when you 'inhale', has kind

of baffles to prevent oxygen to flow unless you inhale:

http://www.amazon.com/PORTABLE-OXYGEN-SYSTEM-CYLINDER-REGULATOR/dp/B000JRKNN8/re\

f=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8 & coliid=I3KNNGUF9341N2 & colid=O06B2AWCOJSC

This is what I have. You cannot get medical grade oxygen put in to this tank

type though as different tanks for different purposes have different snouts on

them so you cannot put a different type of oxygen than they are made for. If you

scroll down you will see the 'conserving cannulba'. That's what I have and you

could put that on any system. It only allows oxygen to flow when you inhale.
