Re: O2 - What an Awesome Experience!

I understand exactly how you feel! It's amazing how much better we move and

breathe with a bit of air.

I want to know what type of O2 you use. I never feel like dancing after housework. To be honest I never feel like doing housework. I'm glad you finally got the O2, but don't overexert yourself.

Your post brought back memories of the overwhelming relief I felt when the paramedics put the oxygen on me in my living room that Memorial Day three years ago. It was only the very beginning of a difficult hospitalization but I will never forget how that oxygen felt.

It's so simple really, give our body what it needs and it's quite willing to function to the best of it's ability. Amazing huh?

The first time the difference really hit me was the treadmill. I had

been trying to get started back for 18 months and yet I couldn't get

past ten minutes before complete exhaustion. But, it was being old and

out of shape. Well, after oxygen, I got on mine. I set the oxygen at 3

lpm and started walking at 1.5 mph. Easy. So 2 mph. Still easy. I was

shocked and amazed. I tried 2.5 mph, sats dropped a little. So, I turned

it to 4 lpm and then 2.5 mph. Still no problem. First time was 30

minutes and it wasn't hard at all. Then I wished I'd known long ago and

been on oxygen. Also, helped to explain so many other things. The one

person who had always been convinced there was a physical problem that

was not being detected was my counselor. In fact, my neurologist had

sent me for more testing to UTSW. Well, turned out she was right, but it

was breathing.

the only time i felt like doing housework was when the 40 mgs prednisone kicked in -- my house needs another high dose of it, but i will just have to live with a dirty, messy house
