You can get O2 even if you smoke, you just have to be very careful and understand the implications of safe useage that's all

If you need more advice please say where you are (it helps to know which O2 company etc)

You can over ride your doctor in this, deal with the PCT direct if necessary etc.. don't worry!

one month on verap isn't much and the dosage may not be sufficient, verap is also a prevent rather than an abortive which O2 is - does your hubby have any other abortives such as imigran?

tell us more, we'll help I promise!

Helen (also in the UK)

well, that's just great isn't it.?   Has no problem putting him on narcotics, but 02 is out of the question.   Begs the question of where he got his degree, doesn't it?

BTW...I was about to answer your PM and then saw you had posted this here also.  No, oxygen cannot be shipped to the UK from the US, but if, after trying what Helen has suggested you may want to look into welders oxygen.  You will not need a script for that and welders 02 is the same as medical 02.  Just make certain if they ask what it's for to NOT tell them it is for medical use. 

Also...can we get a first name to call you?

Don't tell them anything, Charlotte. If they ask, tell them it's for welding.
