this is a question for those with mcs and have oxygen. Ive already been told there are cermaic masks and you can get specail outgased tubing

but do you have a tank or some other device that the oxygen is stored or made in?

what are the things i should be analyzing before i choose something?

like material of container? does it have paint as a finish? what else do i need to consider?

is there a specail place that specailizes in mcs oxgyen tanks or however they store or make it?

thank you thank you thank you

I am not hyper MCS but probably somewhat MCS. I am able to work in an office, but am bothered by the "air freshener" they put in the restrooms.

I bought an oxygen concentrator and used that with the ceramic mask and tubing that is a little better for those sensitive to plastics. Oxygen concentrators have no tank. They make air with high levels of oxygen just from the air. Mine was 97% oxygen. Be wary of cheaper ones that only do something like 30% oxygen. One key idea is to a get used one that has been reconditioned, so the machine has done a lot of the offgassing that it is going to do.

I got mine from mcsrr.org.

Michael,

do you need the oxygen to breathe or do you use it as a therapy? Can you work with the ceramik mask, it is heavy?
