My name is Brandon, and I thought I was going through this alone. I have some sense of sanity now knowing I'm not the only one. I am coming off a 5 week chronic cycle.... I hope.I am a husband and father of 2. I have been suffering for almost twelve years. Prior to this cycle I was 2 years PF, that has been my longest relief. If I can help anyone in any way please let me know.

Hey Brandon,

Well I think you'll be happy to find that folks around here have taken matters into their own hands, as you are now doing, pooled their knowledge, and actually compiled some info on ways that many of us can achieve some significant relief. Hell I know I was overjoyed when what I learned here revolutionized my experience!

There are some very good people like Batty who has already pointed you at the #1 most ultra popular abortive 'round here. If you're not already aware of it, we're not talking about the weak, ineffective old school method of O2 use that most doctors still prescribe, we're talking power user CH aborts for those who have had enough of this s**t!!

Please read up so you'll be as prepared as possible to lay a max wallop on the beast next time he comes a knockin'.

[technical note: it sounds to me like your CH would be categorized as episodic. Chronics have have CH year round with little or no break, if you can imagine such a thing.  ]

Welcome to the board, I hated how the beast used to screw up the time I had with my girls when they were little. You never get that back.

The first details how to best utilize oxygen. I have my abort times down to 6-8 minutes. Really miraculous stuff considering the 90-120 minute rides I used to take!

The second discusses alternative therapies that have shown great success, especially for some of our tougher cases.

When you get a second, detail your prevent and abortive strategy, we just wanna make sure you're not missing out on some of the latest and greatest stuff...give you a little more quality time with those kids!

welcome home.

Don't sweat the technical details, you're head hurts, that sucks, we want it to stop!

Since you're uninsured, pay special attention to the information on welding oxygen in that 02 link. It's dirt cheap, and it's the same stuff they put in the medical tanks. Welders require the same purity of 02 the medical community uses, otherwise their welds fail. Many on this board have been using it for years.

Also, really check out the clusterbusters site. The link I gave you goes right to a posting detailing the different strategies available. Everything from mushrooms to RC seeds. While not traditional medicine, their success rates are tough to argue with.

Wishing you some peace and pain free time soon, high cycle sucks.

Hi Brandon - the imitrex injections are so much more effective than the pills, but very costly indeed.

One important thing to be aware of is the imitrex tip that details how to stretch injection doses in a way that will save you 50% to 66% expenditure while lessening the side effect risk.

I think I have used a couple metric tonlaods of trex injections over the years  but like so so many here I've been very happy to have switched to high liter flow 100% O2 as my first line abortive (personally I do still also keep trex injection$ on hand as a backup just in case).
