Zapped another one with O2

I just got another one about 6 pm this evening. It was lurking all dayand finally decided to come on, I could feel it getting warm behind my ear and then the pain started in. I jumoed for the oxygen and it killed it pretty quick. With the two this morning thats number 3 for today.
I hope I am past the peak of Wednesday night. Oxygen coulnt kill those guys but the combo of the hot shower, oxygen and hot compresses made it bearable.

I got two more last night. First one took an hour of O2 to zap and the second which woke me up later took only ten minutes. Hopefully i am past the worst. The last one was what I call the side burn headache with the pain coming mostly from in front of the ear with that area feeling hot and sensitive. Also the same thing with the sinus cracking. Todays just a dull ache. I hope I am past the worst now. The worst ones rendered the O2 useless the other night, but who knows they could have been even worse. Yeah thinking about it, in the past w/o O2, they were real real real baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
Also rubbing the affected area helps me get through it.

Hey joesf,
You have that sinus cracking? Is it sort of a popping sound as the pain is getting worse...like your sinuses are trying to adjust? I've been away from the board for awhile so I don't know if you elaborated on this earlier but I get that popping too...weird huh? Sending PF vibes your way!

Yeah! It was great. Until I went to bed of course.... I've been getting hammered ever since. Had about 6 last night, 1 about noon, and I just tried to take a nap, just got to sleep and *knock knock*, time to hit the O2 again!
Thank God I found a welding supply that is open till noon on sat. So I was able to fill my tank this morning, so I won't run out for tommorrow night.

joesf, if you breath the o2 at high flow rate with a non-rebreather mask for an hour, most likely the o2 didn't abort it. It just went away naturally.
If the h/a doesn't abort in 20 minutes, turn your o2 off and fight it out. There are some h/a's o2 will not abort for god knows what reason, but it happens. At a high flow rate, anything beyond 20 minutes is probably a waste of gas.

So it went like this last nite,
5 45 to 6 30 CH. 20 min O2, no help, I rubbed side of head for relief, had to jump in shower. Finally let go after i came out of hot shower.
715 to 725 Another attack , zapped w O2 and rubbbing side of head. Pretty good only 10 minutes.
830 to 1230 O2, rubbinghead shower, no use. Lied on bed and took it. It wasnt the worst I have ever felt thank god , but among the worst for this episode. At the onset of this one one drop of a thin clear fluid dripped out my right nostril. Right eye watery. I had the cracking sensation a few times, but no pain relief. Pain was in waves high low high low. A lot on the side of head, sometimes eye, sometimes teeth and jaw, but mostly side head, and below and around eye and upper bridge of nose all on right side.
This morning, had a real small one, brief, now just shadows.

I've gotten my fucking ass kicked every forty five minutes, just like clockwork, since 10pm last night. The last one is still slightly lingering. I had to quit using O2 because I'm down to 400psi; I used 1600psi last night, and I would like to have some left for tonight's fights.
I think this morning I am going to drill a hole in the side of my face, right above where the jaw connects, then install a port for the O2 tubing. So I can be a sort of "automated airhead", if you will... I'll check back later and let you all know how it went.

I got a series of headaches last night. Thats after getting two in the afternoon. Sinsuses ran more clear stuff on HA side before the onset of the first HA last night and was just enough to grab a tissue. Last night after I got two when I had gone to bed, I gave up on the O2. Interestingly enough, the HAs never lasted too long, maybe 15 -20 minutes. It could have been a bit longer but the intense pain part wasn't too bad. On the second HA i got, when I was using the O2 i got a throbbing spasim over and behind my right ear, three then to bursts. It wasnt painfull and felt like a muslcle that spasms. After that there was a slight sharp increase in pain and then HA slowly faded.
The frequency of the HAs got last night were about every hour or so. If I fell asleep it woke me up, everytime from a dream. I have been dreaming in every case a HA has woke me up this episode.
I had to take a chance and not use the O2 and see what would happen. If the cycle is on the way out now Iwill know.

hey joe...95% of the time I get hit at nite...about an hour into sleep...usually last the typical hour to hour and a half.Cycle starts mid Feb til about the end of March..maybe a week or to into April at the most. When Im about 3/4's of the way throught the cycle..I get bad shadows all day...but less severe head at nite. Thats credited to the O2 i think tho. Other than that....I've also noticed for the first time the pain in the Jaw and Teeth...hate that shit!!! But I'm doing ok joe...Vibes to you man...and keep close to that O2!!! Luke

I was first getting them at 2 30 in the afteroon going into the cycle for about three attack days. Then they started shifing till I was getting them at around 6 pm and again at 8 pm and then the nite cycle. i been getting them more soon after going to sleep than later. Except last night when thet went on and off all night. Then ite guys have the early morning ones associated with them.
I dont know, maybe its just coincidence how these patterns work. Actuall reading htis thing over, I cant figure out what the heck is going on, except for several days in a row attack times are similar, but they can shift.
I hope this helps some genius figure out what these are.
Ok luke I hope you are A -OK All the Way!
Oh yeah, I am going to try to stay off the O2 and see if they are lighter on their own. I am hoping the cycle is winding down.

Call the cluster cops...round up the usual suspects!!!
Around 7pm last nite my headache side nostril ran and I had watery eyes. Soon the cluster feeling came. I went to my bedroom where the o2 is and decided to tough it out and see what happens. HA #1 lasted about 45 minutes. The rest of the night was falling asleep only to be woken to HAs. I had 6 more in all. None of them lasted mpre than 15 minutes w/o 02.
This afternnon I got one just before 4pm. I didnt use the o2 again but I had to jump in the shower for relief. It lasted till now 6pm. The maximum intensity wasnt as bad as they used to be in my previous attack cycles, but still got bad.
I just wanted to know where I am in this attack cycle. I dont know if im still going in or on the way out.
