I'm getting ready to go into a cycle and I'm thinking about going drug free, which does not include O2 and Alieve. I want to stay off the verap and triptipans in an effort to decrease the length of the cycle. I'm 45 years of age and I cycle every 2 to 3 years and I get hit 3 to 4 times a day. When I was younger, say 15 to 20 years back and I didn't know that triptapans and O2 were available I just fought it with Asprin, and sometimes Vicodin and Marijuana and, the cycles seemed shorter with only a few pain level 10's mixed in (I also used alcohol during this period, now I don't drink). What I need to know is if there is anyone out there that can give me tips on a drug free cycle with the help of 02. I'll try most anything!

Exactly what Mel said.  If you have a script for 02...I cannot think of one good reason to not use it.  In fact I think it's almost masochistic.   

Oxygen at 25lpm + rocks my world.

Looks like both Mel and I read it wrong.  lol

If you are thinking about going drug free, look into an Ayurvedic diet. I started it 8 days ago. I have suffered for 15 years and also taken the drug route but it's not working this time. I am 7 weeks into this episode, the longest ever for me. Tonight I awoke and decided to use the tens unit I have for my back. See my recent post called Abort immediately with a tens unit. I cannot believe the pain decreased within 30 seconds. I wish you the best of luck "new guy". Message me if you want to chat, I'm always looking for support and willing to be supportive.
