Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi Walt: Sorry to hear you are having issues with adjusting to oxygen. You need to use the oxygen to keep your breathing above at least 90 so that your other organs do not get damaged further. I have IPF and my O2 use has increased lately. However stay positive and enjoy your life as best as you can which you are alreday doing. Regards Pravin > > > > Hello Everyone > I have been lurking and trying to keep up. Welcome to all the new ones. This is a great place to ask questions, unwind, vent, share or be a shoulder for somebody. I wanted to give you an update since last communication. Let’s see. I knew my sats had dropping when I did anything and was waiting for my apt to UWMC my pulmo doc did not seem overly concerned then after work I was having a hard time so went to the Hospital on 10-27-09 and that was my last day of working I am retired a little earlier then I planned but o-well. > Went to Las Vegas over Thanksgiving and got Married there the Friday after. > They came last night and did my o2 set up I am on 3L with exertion and 2 at night. WOW it is hard to get used to. I got a concentrator with a home fill station. I know as from day one when I found you all and all the steps along the way I will be asking questions and seeking advice. >  I did miss out on Margarita Thursdays but hey I am back. > Walt on Whidbey 52, DX 06 IPF,UIP,NSIP >  >  > Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, " I will try again tomorrow.†> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
