I'm just sorry that it has to be because of this horror. Believe it or not most of these loons really have some good ideas. The O2 one is one of the best examples. I hope you stick around and let us know how you're doing. Charlie

I take imipramine at night to prevent. I have imitrex injections and nasal spray. But they are expensive and I don't like taking medication.

Oh MY.....the old nasel cannula again? When will these people understand...Sheesh.

You MUST have a non-rebreather mask and a regulator that goes to at least 12...more is a faster abortive. Those stupid nasel things are for patients with a chronic lung condition at very low LPM.

Over on the left click on that yellow 02 link and you will see pics of what I'm/we're talking about.

If who delivered your 02 gives you a run around about getting the mask, send me your address in a PM and I will send you several. It might even be faster that way.

If they dont have one I will order it from this site. Thanks for the help. I have done quite a bit of research and the O2 is working for me so far.
