Yes, Alisha I had a similar experience. I was obsessing too and even imagining that I was not feeling well because the thing broke. So they called in Cipro for me and when I went in to do PFT's my numbers were higher than ever. At one point, I had my husband hide it from me. It was getting ridiculous. I don't think they are very accurate. I think they may be a good tool if you can be reasonable about it and not jump to conclusions when the thing malfunctions. That is really hard to do though because, how do you know if it is the machine or not??

That was my exact problem. I went home to stay with my parents when my husband deployed the first time and I was on iv's. My mom literally took it away from me and said no more. I would get a low number and 20 mins later try again. I dont think they are a reliable source and I was like you, I depended on those numbers and it shouldne be like that but its hard not to when you get something like that.

Alisha, it is comforting to know that I am not the only one who would obsess over a tiny little piece of equipment!! I have 3 of them and they are stored away. I will probably never us them again<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Lightnlife had the right idea and use for it. My brain is just not wired that way.
