You could also try calling a hospital and ask for their central supply office, tell them what you need and maybe they can help you out.

My DME, Pacific Pulmonary Services, has been excellent about my travel concentrators. They even supplied 4 E cylinders for us to take on a back country camping trip at 8700 ft last week (we have a trailer) so we didn't have to run the generator all night to run Big Blue. My doc told me if I was goin...

Boy, I'll be happy when I can wake up not remembering dreams.

I've been lurking here since I flunked an in home oximetry test in January and began my life as an oxygen addicted cpap user. I began using oxygen to sleep in Jan 3, and ...
