My headaches started again on the 1st of August.. though my cycle is the same as others i think ...the pain days ..some are worst than others good days bad days nothing new .....anyway...yesterday i was woken up by a headache at around 5am in really bad pain so i took a sumitriptan straight away and the aloowed 35 to 40 mins for the tablet to take effect if i was lucky ..but it wasnt to be so i ended up going to the hospital for O2 as that really helps me when the pain is that bad .....as i dont yet have O2 at home ...anyway on the way to the hospital i wasnt given any O2 and in the hospital they didnt give me any O2 but instead made me wait 2 hours in A+E to be seen by the nurse.... but by that time the pain had eased off to a level 2 pushing on 3 quite mild .....i wanted to leave as i was frustrated but my frustration made me stay there to find out why my level of care was dealt with the way it was....so i asked her and she said blah blah blah protocol this and Sats that ....so i learnt a lesseon not to really on no one but yourself when it comes to this illness.....im still quite frustrated though when i think back to it as it shook my confidence in the way i am handling things and the steps i am taking but thats a good things trial and error ......at least now i know to stand up and say what i need to say when i need to say it in all circumstances as it is my life and if i let others dictate my situation then the less controll i have over my options ........keep living life positve and pf days await and when they do i will make sure im prepared that little bit better for the next cycle .....

Besides what Lobster said, I'll add..

Going to the ER=another good way to suffer. And spend money for nothing.  And be frustrated in the process.

You'd be better off going to a local fire station for 02.
