    Oh my, my mom's man friend Al used to use oxygen at home every day, a couple of times a day. Sadly we lost him this past January.

    My dad was on home oxygen, and I've had several clients as well as an uncle who use or used it. I thank God for it, because it helped them very much!

    Nothing matters when we can't breathe.

    My mom is on oxygen so I have these all over the house. I did not know that you didn't need an RX for the non-portable! Oxygen is a great pick me up period. Hospice covers her o2 but, in the future, I think I might buy one myself. Thanks for the great info.

    Yes, I am on oxygen 24/7 since 1997. I am a Veteran's Administration patient, so we do not get to choose our concentrator. However, mine works just fine. I carry portable oxygen tanks when I go out. I've gone on a cruise to Alaska, to Death Valley, to the Grand Canyon and traveled all across the country with oxygen. It can be done, if a person never considers that word "can't." Thanks for your lens and your comment on my profile. You have excellent information here for those who need to know.

    Do you know that you can carry this lens further into categorization. Healthy living-aging-etc.
    It will make your lens easier to find for the search engines and people who are looking for this.

    Thanks for suggestion!

    This really brings to light how fortunate we are over here in the UK. My son was premature a fair few years ago now, and the concentrator was provided, for free, by our NHS; they even paid the electricity bill for it as it had a small meter on the side.
    My son's health has deteriorated again recently, he's 18 now. But whatever the outcome I know, again, the concentrator will be free of charge, should he need it.
    An extremely informative lens =) my best wishes to you all xx

    My lung doctor has recommended the use of an oxygen concentrator, he says it will improve the quality of my life not necessarily help me live longer, but improve the life I have left .
    I am disabled with copd and have applied for disability, right now I am in the waiting stage for a decision . my company has been paying for my health insurance however it is about to run out, with out insurance I am unable to afford an ox. concentrator . looking for assistance to buy one.if you know any programs. I have no incom of my own at this time. Thank you, Terry.

    Hi Terry,
    I don't know of any resources for you, but maybe a reader does and will leave the info? God bless.

    I have had relatives using oxygen tanks when acutely ill, but had never heard of oxygen concentrators before. How useful!
