  1. That's awesome! So you will always have a companion with you too? Have you named your machine? Happy for you!

    1. So good! I love that you have shared with us your good humor and positive spirit. 😀 Some people feel that needing oxygen or a BiPAP is the end of them being able to do things or go anywhere, so this small post of yours is important! How are you feeling on the machine so far? Do you notice a difference? Glad you're here! -Melissa, copd.net team

      1. Hi,I was just given a Triligy Evo(well not given. I'm paying for rental) machine . It looks similar to that one your showing. It gives you oxygen and operates like a ventilation and does a host of things like expand your lung capacity, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide levels in the body, helps to increase oxygenation, improves quality of sleep. It it easy to get used to. You can use it all night, for a nap, a couple hours at a time. I truly hopes this helps pull me out of the ditch i feel I'm in. I feel very lucky to use it. I used a cpap in the hospital and hated it. I can actually take this to the hospital should i have to go. Sorry to blabber on but i wanted to share.@

        1. yes this bipap machine is a god send From our district health board. I use it all the time 😊😎 thanks for your response much appreciated Jah bless πŸ’―πŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’›.

        2. Hi CMc1af8a, and welcome! I see you are a new member here having joined just last month. We are glad to see you already engaging with the community through this your first post.
          We appreciate you sharing your own personal experience managing this disease (COPD), using the Trilogy device for therapy. I am glad to hear you have gotten used to it, use it, and find it beneficial for therapy. I can tell you from my professional experience, many patients with a COPD diagnosis do quite well using this non-invasive ventilator. It has a positive effect for so many, I am hopeful it will for you too!
