Hey Charlie.....
my best advice for that Neuro appt is to go into it having done all your homework....print and take all the info you can find about treatments and diagnosis of CHA's.....here's a couple PDF's I found particularly helpful....

http://www.brightok.net/~mnjday/chtherapy.pdf
I had to educate my Neuro some, and now when I get into a CHA cycle....all I have to do is call his office and get the scripts I need (o2 and Relpax). When I am hard into a cycle....I take Relpax 40mg twice daily, each does gives me about 8-10 PF hours....then when the beast starts showing it's face between doses, I knock him down with O2. I use 15 lpm (the local medical O2 house doesn't have a regulator that gives 12 lpm) and usually 15-20 mins is good for me. I recommend huffing the O2 for 5-10 mins after the pain goes away, if I quit the O2 as soon as the pain leaves, it comes back in 15 mins worse than before....

 Hey Boyce,
Thanks for the information, believe me I am going to use all of it when I get to see my Nero Doc for the first time.
I did get all the info in the links that you left me there, and thanks again. 
I just hope my GP can give me some relief for a few days, I am about to go burry my head in the sand. 
I am gonna get real pushy with him today,  cause I still have over a week before I will see the new Doc.
Have a PF evening, I will be on Yahoo Mess Thingy later,
I am jcmquix, look me up if you are on.

Would the owner of the propane torch, egg beater, pipe expander and vise grips please claim these items. They're lodged in my head and I need the space. (burnt-toast)
