Title: New here. Anyone from Tulsa, Ok on oxygen?
Post by Brotherhef on Mar 16th, 2019 at 8:10pm
Please let me know if I posted this in the wrong spot. Im Mike from Oklahoma. Episodic for 9 years. Had sumatriptan pills for a year, but just changed to injections. Just got on verapamil. Im considering busting, but as a last resort. I know, I know...just not ready to take the leap. My Dr. said she will prescribe oxygen, but UMR insurance supposedly won't cover it. Can anyone in Tulsa Oklahoma tell me where they get their oxygen and how much they pay?

Hi and welcome Mike - don't worry about being in the right spot, your post will be read.

Great that you've jumped to sumatriptan injections as they are a huge step forward from the pills.

For oxygen, read up about using it to the best at - START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE. Make sure you get as high a flow rate as you can (faster is normally quicker), O2 cylinders and a non-rebreather mask.

There is a load of info I wrote about verapamil at - START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE

Also read up about how a lot of us, myself included, have been getting great results from vitamin D3 - START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE.

Keep reading and ask all the questions you have.

Hi Mike
On the left of your screen there is a link  "where we live".  You can check there to see if there are any more CHers in your area.  I saw 9 names in Tulsa, and there may be some in other areas near you which I don't recognise.  You can contact people from that page.  It's always
useful to have  "neighbours" and friends nearby.
