Many people with COPD want to use a portable . I want to use a portable.. I cannot . I need more supplemental oxygen than any portable can give me. 3 liters is not enough for me. If you use one , be sure it supports your needs . Check it with an oximeter OFTEN. When your levels repeatedly go below 90. Having to sit and wait to resume your actions is not something you want to do repeatedly. I am the one with the cart and a tank. I want my needs met all the time I am out.
Blessed Be, Crystalena

We are trying to have the bipartisan SOAR act passed that will allow folks who have high O2 flow needs like you use liquid O2. I’ve used it and love how lightweight a portable it is. Sadly with low reimbursements, it is VERY difficult for people to get liquid O2.
If the SOAR act is passed in Congress, it will give patients more options.

You're a better person than me. I can't lug the cart and tank so I use the portable. As a result, I stay home a lot unless I can get someone to drive me. I wish I had your strength!
