Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 , You will get about 1,000 responses telling you to use your 02! It is the best medicine for what ails you! Never push yourself when your 02 has dropped so low. Sit, immediatly, and slump. Breathe with mouth open until you bring your numbers up into the nineties. Trust me on this. Do not keep seeing a doc that you don't like. Your very life depends on your medical care. If you live in an area where it is possible, seek out a hospital and physician that specializes in interstitial lung diseases. Teaching hospitals are usually better. Yes, progression is very individual. There no absolutes with this mess. And, lastly.....you landed in a good place. You will love us!

Don't really know what to expect. don't really like doc. I am supposed to use oxygen at 2 for exercise and I have resisted but i feel I need to. going to mailbox or up stairs my level goes to about 77-78. I guess that is not good. considering moving downstairs to den but feel like i am giving in. Know I am rambling but not sure what to ask. Is progression very individual? Glad for some answers. > > ---------------------------------> Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
