@rpec I am in similar situation. On O2 at night using concentrator in upstairs bedroom. Problem is downstairs where I would have to use a portable. Medicare helps with one stationary and one portable but not another. Carrying a portable and doing work around the house is difficult. I doubt I could do a six minute walk test without O2. I do go to BE specialist. Albuterol 7% saline, aerobica, autogenic drainage, and positional drainage. Pulmonary Rehab helped and once my back issues resolve I hope to go back.

@nicholslg what is your O2 level when you are not on O2? You seem to say O2 gives you extra breath to do things in the house? I would love for that to work for me. I did pulmonary rehab. Didn't have a problem doing the treadmill, bicycle, weights, and arm peddle. Using the arms to peddle was the most difficult. Glad it helped you but I couldn't tell much difference.
