I have had ECH for 12 years and each episode seems a new item. Since sleeping seems to bring on the curse, the on and off of high flow 15lpm was making sleep impossible for more than 90 min. This season my PCP recommended to “bleed” oxygen from my concentrator into the cpap that I started using last year. It has water in it, which adds humidity, a good seal on nostrils and lowering flow from 15 down to 8 seems to work for me. Any others out there doing this ?

I tried this cocktail and the longest season has finally ended! I have been using O2 with rebreather which ends the beast, but no the season. Then read about red bull, 5 hour energy and other caffeine beverages. It might just be coincidence, but I will share it. O2 Gold is a fitness supplement blending protiens, adaptogens, and herbs that claims to "facilitate the body's use of oxygen". This stuff really works if you like endurance exercise. Take two tablets. Wash it down with Spark energy drink. Compared to red bull, rockstar, gatorade, coffee, this stuff has half the calories, way fewer carbs, sodium than the others and more caffiene. It also has A,B, C, E vitamins. Unfortunately taking all this caffeine will keep you awake. Both products are sold by Advocare.
