Hello fellow CH sufferers,
I've sufferred from severe cluster headaches every year for the past 15 years. I don't have to tell you
folks what it's been like. I have been to many doctors
and tried everything you can imagine. I will tell you
that without an oygen tank, I would have never survived
the last two cycles. Inhaling pure oygen at 15 liters
per minute will blow the headache out of my head in about 5 minutes 90% of the time, until later in the
cycle. Then nothing works, including the Imitrex up the
nose routine. I had a horrible cluster that lasted 4
hours last year. When it was over, I laid on the floor
and shook for 11 hours. My thoughts are with all of
you.
