Should probably call up whatever number you have to check. I assume you can find info online somewhere as well.

A concentrator, with small tanks when leaving the house? My dad had to be put on O2 for a few months at the beginning of the year. The VA had a nurse from a local supply company come to the house to set everything up and walk he and my mom through the whole thing. They had to demonstrate that they could use it properly and put up signs about O2 in use at all entrances before he left. He came by for follow ups afterwards to make sure it was being used correctly.
If your grandmother and whoever looks after her didn't get much instruction, as

said, there should be a number for the medical supply company somewhere. It's often a sticker right on the machine. That being said, I would agree that that looks like 1L.- 3

hey don't eyeball this shit bro, it's too serious. Oxygen is a flame accelerator as well. Call /email/annoy whomever you need to but get answers from someone other that the shitlords here.

We’ve been monitoring her O2 levels: everything is fine and the machine is working properly
This machine is more of a recirculator than an O2 tank: that one the doctor specifically said only use outdoors and don’t get near the stove.

I found this video where it says you measure from the center of the ball. I am not sure tbh but what you want to google is “how to read an oxygen flow meter” although any of the nurses that post will come along sometime and know exactly how to do it

The middle of the ball intersecting the 1L line is ideal, but as long as somewhere on the ball is intersecting the 1 L line, you're fine. It's basically splitting hairs.
It's best to be at eye level with the meter to avoid parallax.

I took on a new job a while back, the kind where you don't have fixed hours since its at least 10 hours of overtime weekly.
Coming from halftime employment in summer and otherwise 4/5th system is taxing.
I love the job, its going well and I'm very motivated. Unlike my past job it is challenging and I get to do my own thing.
This has been very benificial for my health, I have more energy and less stress.
Never guessed the impact would be so positive.

anyone know if too much b12 can cause leg cramps? only thing i can see is too little can. not having any side listed for too much b12.
for last month, been having random calf cramps. thought it was due to a lot of walking, but stopped last week to get over sinus infection. tuesday had really bad cramp twice. saw the doc today, ran a bunch of test and only thing high is b12.

B12 is fine. It's more likely low Potassium. Low Magnesium. Or clots from sitting down too much. Eat a banana. Lick a supercar. Be more monkeylike.

I agree. Turns out cantaloupe is solid too. 6oz of cantaloupe has more K than a medium banana.

Magnesium 1.9mg/dL Normal range: 1.5 - 2.5 mg/dL
i eat a banana most days. didn't see potassium in the results i got so far, she said one would take a little while to get results.

also i have started getting fasciculation in both legs. oddly started after taking week long break from daily walking. leg cramps started weeks before this and might not be related. fasciculations happen a lot and can last for 5 -15 mins.

When I was really pushing myself earlier this year, walking 15-18k steps a day - my calfs would do that. Ive been taking supplements the entire time, and they load me down with everything the body needs in the vein of thought. Now that I dont walk that much, and Im not on the stair stepper that often - it doesnt happen at all. So probably just over worked, tbh.
