Being dependant on oxygen doesn't mean your life is over. I've found it opens doors where I never knew they existed. This blog is to help those who live with oxygen needs. It is also for the spouses, children, and others who help the individuals who are on oxygen to lead a quality life.

Something exciting is happening. It appears that the longer I take the Tracleer, the better the benefit. A few times I have been out to lunch with my husband, I have been able to set my oxygen flow to 3 liters/min. Remember, my normal rate is 5 l/m. Reducing your oxygen isn't something that I'd recommend to anyone but I wanted to know how I would do on 3 liters/min. Normally if I wanted to turn it down it would be down to 4 l/m.
Since I was sitting down the whole time without being really active except to eat and occasionally talking to someone, I did really well for about an hour & a half. After that, I started to get tired and had to turn up my oxygen.
So, maybe this medicine really is working afterall.
