Dear Steve, I've had clusters for 10 years,except for a two year sabatical that ended 3weeks ago. I used oxygen last time and the attacks lasted 8 weeks. It seems now that you mention it, it was my longest. I called my MD. today to get the tanks sent to my house, I was going to try it again. I'm not sure if it's going to work but I have to try something. The Imitrex spray is wonderful for the pain but the side effects are not,and you can only used 2 doses in 24 hrs. I am curious about acupuncture, I did it once 3yrs ago 3 weeks into a cycle. They went away after an allday sickening ache on the right side of my head.It was still better than cluster pain.I should try it again. Quiet Night To You
