Hi Stilltruckin, twas an interesting article particularly if you are a retainer , I'm trying to keep at 2litre per min but will go on 3 as advised I just feel reluctant , luckily I'm not a retainer as it must be all the more stressful if you are....what a drag it is this dis ease.

huff xxxx

Welcome home. Is that you?

Good article stilltruckin but I have IPF and there was no mention of that but after a decline in my condition it was found I'd become hypoxia and the respiratory team put me on 15/24hrs 02 but at night on mask 4ltrpm and up to now 6mths on it keeps me at 88 to 93 . My consultant was satisfied with the outcome and at the moment I'm trying a new drug Nintedanib hopefully it could keep me stable but only time will tell.

I do find your replies interesting although sometimes above my intelligence but keep up the good work.
