Researcher in Australia
Hello, I had the good fortunate to meet Soon Lye via zoom sessions this past summer. A lady from the U.S. contacted me to advise that he was doing research and wanted to get information about OT from people who have this.

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Betty,
I was very sorry to hear about Patty's death. I remember her well from all the times she came to the research and travelled all that way to be there.
Please pass on to her husband my condolences - she will be missed.

Re: How is everyone?
I had a couple of inquiries on the details of renting an oxygen machine and then it was suggested that I post these details: I rented mine from a company called "Medigas". You would have to google oxygen supply company where you live. A nurse did come around but she really didn't do anythi...

Re: How is everyone?
Hello, I don't think it is a appropriate for a member to write and advise this: From a medical point of view (Nursing), "Pure Oxygen" can be dangerous. It sounds like she has a background in nursing and that does not make her qualified to state this. Mike in Spain is under the care of his ...

Re: Muscle fatigue - muscle deterioration - exercising
Hello Marla,
Thank you for taking time to share this info. I am definitely going to look into going back to the gym and trying this machine, just for strengthening leg muscles. I have been doing some leg strengthening exercises I got from physio.
Important to keep active that is for sure!

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Betty,
Good for you for trying this - I will be hoping that you have some success.
I sent you a private email a few days ago but suspect it may have gone to your junk mail as I haven't heard back from you.

Oxygen treatment
I emailed Cathy from the U.S. who has also had positive results from the oxygen treatment. Unfortunately I have not heard back from her - I suspect the email went into her junk mail. I had talked to her and emailed her after her initial positive reaction to the oxygen and would like to get an update...

Re: Cautionary tale; it's not always OT
Hi Patty,
I am so sorry that you are going through this. My thoughts are with you! You always struck me as a determined type of person - not one to back off anything so that will be a big factor in helping you get through this.
Keep us informed as your OT family cares about you,
Sincerely,
Peggy

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Mike
This is wonderful! So is it up to you how often you use the oxygen at home?
I imagine you will have to experiment with this - ie. just using it at night?
I will definitely be talking to my doctor and hopefully get to try it also and will report back.
Best of luck always,
Peggy

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Betty, I plan to make an appointment to see my family doctor - I don't see a Neurologist. I did in the beginning but realized fairly quickly that he couldn't do anything for me as I tried medications with no success. I will report back on the forum what happens - might take a week or so to get in...

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Mike, Could you tell everyone more details on this please. Are you in the hospital to test this oxygen use for OT? You said you this is the 3rd time you have been on oxygen and it stopped tremors in all cases. Please give more details on the last 2 times you were on oxygen: -Did you go in the hos...
