Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Peggy-Thanks for the advice about changing the tubing and the water bottle. I think I really need to talk to my provider. I also have a oxymeter and use it frequently. I discovered I don't need any oxygen while sitting or just standing but the minute I start moving my levels drop dramactically. My Seattle doctor told me not to go below 89. I do take it off when reading or watching t.v. I go to movies l lot because I can feel normal again- for a while. I've known about my disease for a year and a half and it's funny but just recently it's started to bother me more about being on ox than it did at first. We went to Phoenix where I was able to go without ox doing normal activities. Maybe it made me realize what I was missing and how good it is not to be stared at. Thanks for writing.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ronnie - I think you are experiencing the depression that happens sometimes...cause this is an everyday problem....most people don't have to think about every breath they take....if I have to go from point A to point B, I automatically look at the shortest route. I used to just walk and not even think about it. And, hey....maybe they were staring cause you are so cute!! --Diane Quinlan dianequinlan@... My Seattledoctor told me not to go below 89.
