Hello Ben, and welcome! My first suggestion is for you to troll this site for the next 24-48 hours. There is a wealth of information here on how to deal with the beast. My second suggestion is you take the warning it seems you are being given by the Beast, and line up effective aborts and preventatives. It may be you are about to go into cycle, and if you are, you will be glad you are prepared. If you are not going into cycle, all well and good. You are probably hyperventilating without the introduction of pure O2 and as such, are aborting what we call shadows-CHs which never quite take hold. That's a good thing, but you will want pure O2 and a good CH setup if the beast comes home to roost. Tell us more about yourself and what you are currently or have in the past used. God bless. lance

I understand that your health sevice regulations give you the option of going to any headache clinic of your choice. OUCHUK can better guide you.

My impression, from messages from the UK, is that local docs are, overall, quite unprepared to handle complex headache disorders and are far too conservative in treating these problems. This is a good reason for seeking a referral to a solo headache specialist or a headache clinic.
