I am finding that I can reduce the Hs somewhat by decreasing the CO2 washout, still early in my experimental stage to draw any conclusion. In order to continue this line of experiment, I may have to also monitor my Oxygen desat; I do not have a meter for that yet. I do not know if the insurance will allow rental of an O2 meter, or I have to buy one. I have not discussed this with my doc yet ...
Feeling better--glad to hear your story, which is indeed similar to mine. How do you decrease the CO2 washout and how would the O2 meter fit in? I think there has been discussion of these things, so maybe I can find this from a search...
