I think I spoke too soon. At those settings my tanks probably wouldn't last long.Beverley Joy,71, UIP,NSIP 1-09,Diabetes,Sjogren's,Fibromyalgia IdahoSubject: Re: Pursed lip breathingTo: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, July 31, 2009, 3:00 PM

Joyce,

And would you believe that there are still IDIOTS that leave their kids

and animals in the car cuz "they would just be gone a minute" I would

have to change suppliers as they do not do liquid, not a big deal but I

would need to know if I can still get the high flow with liquid. The

lowest I use is 5 pulse as they have no higher regulators. At home my

concentrator is set to 8 and there she stays. I need to lose more

weight so I can maybe get a lung but yadda yadda yadda been there, still

trying, not giving up. I'm thinking I need to do more investigations

and since I'm getting my internet turned back on a home I can do more

studying at home on the weekends. Thanks and I will get around to

calling you lol been one of those weeks!

> Dyane- have you thought of changing your oxygen to LIQUID? I am on

Liquid and I can go 8 hours on one of my portables. Don't ever leave it

in the car...When visiting Phoenix once I left a candy bar in my car for

just an hour while I went inside to shop and when I came back it was

liquid. I had a hell of a time cleaning it out of my car seat! Joyce

> Question - Because I haven't been through rehap, why does the

pursed lip breathing keep our sats up? I pulled a Beth and ran my

E tank dry and had to drive from my daughters house to mine, a 35 min

trip. Had my oxymeter with me and as soon as I got in the truck I put

in on..80, started the breathing and got up to 92. The minute I would

stop my sats would dive again. Is it because we are conciously inhaling

and exhaling deeper? I know I have a real problem with shallow

breathing. I feel (and I'm hoping they can tell me when I go to NJH)

that my 'lung bottoms" have definately stiffened. I don't feel like I

can breathe into my abdomen anymore, you know like if you were really

gonna belt out a song. Its almost like my diaphram goes so far and

won't go any farther. I need to carry a full e tank but right now it

can reach 130 degrees in my car during the day and I just don't like

having the tanks in the car in that heat. They won't explode but they

can blow a regulator at that temp, the o2 people have warned me about

it. Gotta love Phoenix in the summer ha ha hee hee.
