Re: Vital Information for Asthmatics

Clew,

Yes, that was the vacation from HELL! I also lost my ring of keys to the house, car, motorcycle, etc if all of that weren't enough.

Not a red tide problem. We were far out at sea and this problem was strictly caused by the lack of oxygen in the theater. With 3,000 people stuffed into a tight space, the oxygen was being rapidly replaced with CO2. Every single night we left the theater, my asthma went crazy. On the night I went out, it was a 2 hour show, and NONE of my inhaler medications worked. My lungs went into a downward spiral that I could do nothing about. The ship nurse with an oxygen tank saved my life.

I found this great article about this subject:

I'm still looking for a fingertip oxymeter. I also want to get a portable oxygen generator for the next time I get into a low oxygen crises such as in a crowded theater. What do you recommend?
