I've been lurking for awhile here but decided to join in the conversation after waking up with another headache at 4:44 this morning. My neurologist prescribed O2 for me, but it didn't seem to work for me. After reading more info here, I realize I didn't use it for long enough. I was led to believe the relief would be instant.  I will also start the supplement regime ASAP. I'm already taking the Vit D3. I'll just need to take more each day.

BTW, I am female, 52 and I live in Cypress, CA.

What else are you taking for your CH? Any preventives like verapamil, lithium or topomax? Any abortives other than oxygen?

Yay another "right" coaster! San Diego boy down here. For me oxygen aborts the attack in about 6-8 minutes. The faster I get on it, the faster the abort. A delay of even a few minutes can substantially increase the abort time. Do tell us a bit more about your treatment regimen, maybe we can give you some suggestions to discuss with your neuro.
