I have used O2 for almost all the 16 years I've had these CHs. Chiro didn't work. I've also tried and quit many types of drugs. Imitrex is what I use now. But lately I've been about 90% succesful in stopping the headache if I use the O2 within 1-2 minutes of getting the "feeling". Since the HMO only covers 18 pills a month (I fought hard to get them to double the amount), I made it thru two months so far with O2 and 20 imitrex . This eppisode only had maybe ten SEVERE ones). I too have never made it past the bed with the bad ones, with the exception of runs to the throne to "pray" in my earlier years, (I haven't done that for about six years now), but I will try the exertive exercises to see if it works (but even when I did construction work I still got them and had to lay in the car sucking O2). I'll try anything, keep you posted. Good luck to all.
Joe
