Anybody wish they had one?
I went for the first 18 months of my cpap treatment without one - and now that I have one, I really am very glad I finally bit the bullet and bought one. Wow.. . .I had NO IDEA my oxygen was getting so low at night - every night. Now I have something definitive to show my doc. Good good good thing.

check out this one for $130 - - looks pretty good for the money with nice reports on computer - - again I would use one only for reference and maybe print out report to show doctor - - not for self medication with 02.
