I have used nocturnal o2 for 5 years and did buy my own inogen at home unit due to the same insurance hassles you described. I recently turned 65 so Medicare pays rental on a home unit and a portable. The portable is pulsed and has a 4 hour battery time so I use it sparingly. I prefer the Continuous vs the Pulsed when possible.

Hi Rick,
How did your doctor decide that you need oxygen support? Based on the oximeter test in the office or other tests? I think it is important to have it, in case you need it. It is really scary when it gets low.
I seem to remember one of your old posts after you moved to your new location. Your oxygen level is normal. Is it still true?

Thanks!

Ling
