Great news Chris. Let us know how you respond with it.
Hope it works well for you.
BTW - Since trying O2 2-1/2 years ago, I've only had to use Imitrex twice....and both times was due to a trigger caused by a local anesthetic and didn't have my O2 with me.
Good luck!

Chillrmn1, If I get those same results, I will be one happy man! The first couple times wil be a little scary, knowing I have the trex that will work 100%. But I'm willing to tough it out(I think) lol
Thanks
Chris

Chris, this such good news. My first time using o2 was a little awkward but you will learn fast. Like Carol said, make sure you have the right mask. My non re-breather mask was like 5 bucks, so if you did not get one let me know and I will courier one to you ASAP.
Be sure to read the manual sent to us, it is all in there.
I am back to work today so I won't be on here during the day but will get back up to speed tonight.
PFDAN and happy o2 breathing. We are so happy for you.
Barry

AWESOME news, Chris! Can't wait to hear how it works for you. You HAVE to get on it at the FIRST sign of attack, ok?
YAY!!

Much easier to spank the monkey than to beat the beast.

Hello Everyone:
Just putting in my two cents...
Beating the beast comes one moment at a time. It's a conscious decision that one makes to not let the beast stop you.
When you won't participate in life, it's winning. When you go about your life and he appears, you deal with him as best you can. You don't go provoke the beast -- Like drinking alcohol when you're susceptable, that would be silly.
In the worst of the worst attack, you might scream, pace, and want to explode, but also pray and know it will be over when it runs its course.
Know your enemy, that's key. Know your tools to fight the beast. Do your best to know where they [tools] are. At one time, I tried to figure where the closest place of retreat would be, a quiet place where I could wrestle with the beast when he attacked, while I was out and living life.
View the enemy/beast as evil, and you are good. The good is destined to overcome the evil -- read The Book of Revelation for inspiration! And when you begin to feel sorry for yourself, read The Book of Job.
Wishing you victory over the beast, one moment at a time.
Ray

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Hey Chris, how about an update on how you are doing with the o2? Did you get everything you need? Let us know, ok.
Hope you are getting some PF time.

I don't know if I answered this thread and I'm too lazy to go through all 7 pages. My grandpa had Clusters (called histamine headaches back then) and one day he just stopped getting them. Unfortunately my grandmother can't remember how old he was when he stopped getting them. I don't remember him having them so I'm guessing before his 50's or so. So there is hope!

sorry guys for some reason i didn't notice any new posts here.
The letter worked like a charm. Athough I think she was a little insulted that I had another doctor send her information, I think that was the push she needed to allow me to try it. She ended up going online to do a little research after getting annettes letter as well. I have been breathin o2 for a few weeks or so now and it has been almost like a miracle. It would take my ch away in roughly 5 to 10 minutes everytime without any other meds. I just had to use my trex for the night time because i was too lazy to go to the basement, and I need it at work. My cycle is just about done. I get 1 or 2 light shadows a day now and am med free other then a couple advils when i feel a shadow. I also hit the o2 and it takes it away in about 5 minutes. Life is good and I plan on living it to the fullest untill it's that time again! Thanks to everyone that has been there for me (you guys know who you are) And once again a HUGE thank you to Annette for going out of her way like that! 
This may sound like a goodbye but it's not. I'm still here!
Chris
