There is no one in this world who knows your body like you do.  If your doctor makes you feel small for sharing information you need a new doctor.
I am a physician (pediatric intensive care), so I can definitely say that.

I tried O2 during my last cycle, and did not have a good experience.  At first I was thrilled, because the pain disappeared like magic without even leaving a shadow.  But 10 minutes after I took it off (I had it on for 30 minutes after the pain left), the Beast came back with a vengeance.  It was far worse than before.
Some may ask how I used the O2--I had a nonrebreather at 15 LPM.  I work in a hospital, and got attacked by the beast while at work.  So I went into an empty room and used the wall regulator.  No empty tank problems to deal with.
Has anyone else had this experience?

WOOHOO!!!  

A doctor who suffers from this!  (NOT that I am happy you suffer from these.)

It is SUCH a pleasure to welcome you to the board!

Hopefully we can help you, by answering YOUR questions, and then you can help US with your medical backround!  Sounds like a win win situation!

Now it is time for you to go back to school ... START READING girl!  LOL!

Again, welcome aboard!

Chuck

hi miki

yes i have that problem with oxygen, it does help shortterm but its only puts of the enivetable, it seems to delay the attack for awhile but just does not stop it from happening later.  

Imigran injections are great when you know a bad attack is on the way.
