    Thank you for the informative web site.I recently was prescribed continuous osygen at night and as needed during the say and your site helped me undertand why. I feel so much better as my 02 rate was in the low 80's. My ears don't ring any more and the nausea has gone away and ballance returned. I did not realize how bad I was.

    I have been on Oxygen for 2-1/2 years now full time.  I use a concentrater which has another machine on a small table over it.  With this machine I can attach my small portable tanks that I use when I leave the house.  This has worked well for me.
