Hi All,

I'd like to know if anyone uses an oxygen tank along with CPAP machine. If so, how/where do you get it? My wife has responded well to hyperbaric oxygen, so we figured some extra oxygen at night would be beneficial as well. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bubbalyme

Heyyyyyyyyy bubba...

I didn't have one for the CPAP machine... but did have to use them several times.

Due to having only access to a bunch of idiot ducks at the time...

I got the chiropractor to write a prescription for me.

I contacted a local medical equipment supply place... look in phone book or on internet for one near you.

They did the paper work and set it up for delivery as I needed it. They delivered- brought new tanks and removed empty ones. They also had the masks, lines, etc.

Insurance paid for it eventually, but not until I jumped up and down on their heads for a while.

Hope that helps!

Ok. Our only problem is the prescription. Everybody in NC is scared of their own shadow to write anything. Is there any way this can be done without a prescription or any other type of doc that might prescribe?
