Reply to Andy R's Post: I am on it most the time except when I shave and shower. a couple times its came off during the night and I don t know it til I wake up and don t have any problems from not being hooked up.

I suggest you report those incidents above to your doctor and ask for a schedule to wean yourself off the oxygen. This is in reality a decision that needs to involve your doctor.

Thanks
