Greg,
Thanks for passing on some valuable comments on oxygen. I always try to remind folks that oxygen is a medication, with real side effects. We tend to forget that.
Also, in regards to Imitrex, we need to remember to use caution. Physicians remind me of the "rebound" with frequent Imitrex use. Many doctors recommend only 6 injections per week. Ouch!!! I certainly have exceded that many times over. God knows I'll try just about anything when I'm clustering nonstop. Just remind yourself to think through all your options (abortives, prophlytactics (excuse my spelling), and analgesics). Always have a plan....at least to start with.
Take care all,
irene
