Bay Are Help - Active Episode

[saco]

Hey all,

Wondering if there's anyone in the SF Bay Area who has oxygen tanks and access to refilling regularly who can help me bridge care until my doctors get their shit together.

Such a nightmare how long it takes to kick off care here. 3+ days to get neuro (who mind you, has seen me through 6 years of episodes) to see me and write a script of the oxygen, a week to get Apria to fill the order and deliver it if at all. 

By the time oxygen tanks arrive I'm halfway through the month of attacks. Such a nightmare.

[Bejeeber]

Apria takes a WEEK to fill the order and deliver it if at all?!

That comes across as genuinely negligent , sorry to hear of this.

Not knowing whether it would be a viable option in your case, many CH'ers have opted for welding O2 (no prescription needed, and of course hopefully no wait).

Not from that area but did visit a few times. I have used Ron Andrews Medical.https://www.ronandrewsmedical.com/ they delivered to a hotel and picked up for me with a copy of my script email to them. No issues at all and I think it was something like 25 bucks a tank. I would call your PCP and ask them to write you a script for the oxygen, it does not need to be a neuro. It may be faster and they can send that over to get your tanks faster. 

Make calls and demand it, don't take no for an answer and you can get it done today if your motivated enough.
