Yes, and no ... You need 100% oxygen. I have never heard of any other blend or "grade" being supplied by oxygen suppliers, but I am sure there are.

Oh, yea of little faith! LOL.
Oxygen is the only thing that has kept most of us, with what little sanity we have. It is a life saver! Most of us use it as our first choice abortive. If it does not work, which there could be times that it didn't, THEN we go to one of the other methods: Imitrex; Zomig; etc.
ocnprl wrote on May 3rd, 2009 at 4:46am:From what I read, it only masks and shortens it very little and takes almost 20 minutes into it before you feel anything.
Not always true. Many of us can abort a hit in as little as 3 to 5 minutes! And if it is a hit that would last 2 hours, THAT 3 to 5 minutes is a MIRACLE!
It is true, that you sometimes get a stubborn hit, that will take 20 minutes to abort, but even then, if it could last 2 or more hours, it is still worth it.
I think the information that you have read is old and out of date. Click on the tab, on the left side of your screen oxygen info and read the latest information and see if that coincides with what you have read.

Yes, you get on the oxygen, as soon as you feel one starting, however many times a day you need to.
I get hit (during my normal periods) between 8 to 12 times a day. During high cycle, I can get hit up to 20 times a day. I am chronic, so that is 365 days a year.

In a couple words, yes, YES, YES!!
I, most likely, would not still be walking on this earth, if I did not have my oxygen. I swear by it. It is the only thing that has allowed me to live any sort of a normal life.
I never go anyplace without a tank of oxygen in close proximity. Do I take it with me into a store? No. BUT it is in my car, if I need to go on it. I take it to work with me. When traveling by car or train (I never take a bus), I have oxygen tanks with me.
You REALLY need to try it again. We have improved the methodology, and made it much more effective. BUT, you need to use the right mask, and regulator in order to get the desired results.
If you are anything like the rest of us stubborn ba$tards that dragged our feet, and said, "Oh, I tried it once, and it never worked for me" you will be kicking yourself, once you see how good it is.
If you wish, send me a PM, either with your phone number, or asking for mine, and I will gladly talk to you about oxygen usage.
OR, you can reach me via skype, and the user name of ClusterChuck.
PLEASE look into oxygen!
