Title: Oxygen prescription on disability medical
Post by nathan w on Feb 12th, 2020 at 7:11pm
Hi everyone, 
I'm new to the site, but not new to CBS. Have been chronic for almost 20 years now...was on oxygen years ago until it seemed to stop working. Then about 2 years ago my headaches vanished! I thought I was cured! ..until November.  Round 2, full force,  die hard with a vengeance.  Except now my disability insurance says they no longer cover oxygen tanks for cluster headaches.  Has anyone else run into this problem and is there a way around it?
Desperate to get off imitrex..I'm 48 and imitrex puts one heck of a strain on the ticker.

G'day,  Nathan,  and welcome.  I can't guess at how to get around it within your system but I know many have found a way outside of the system,  and that's using all welding gear.

The complete set-up is described on the  Oxygen Info  button on the left side of your screen and it seems the only thing to watch is not telling the welding suppliers that it's for personal use.

Good luck,  and let us know you're getting on.

We care.
