Amy CH.com Newbie Offline I Love CH.com! Posts: 1	hi Jun 19^th, 2009 at 10:54pm Hi, I'm new to the forum. The headaches started in 2000 and were from the beginning severe and excruciating. In the recent couple of years, the headaches have changed. Stress brings them on. In the early years, cold ice packs helped. It's good to find this forum.

Welcome to the forum. When you get a chance, give us a more detailed run down of your regimen. A good prevent med? A good abortive? And like Bill said, if you haven't tried oxygen yet......WOW!!! I went from 90 minute plus attacks to killing em in 6-8 minutes by huffing the 02. Do read the link on the left, "oxygen info" as it has to be used correctly or it's next to worthless.

Glad you found us, give us a shot at helping ya!

This has worked fairly well for my past two cycles, but talk to your doc what might be best for you. You are not alone with these anymore. Barry
