Wanted to say thanks to two people in particular. I have been wanting to get O2 to try to abort these things. I haven't yet received a prescription from a DR., but have read many posts.
I read a post a couple of weeks back about a guy who went to the fire station, explained his situation and they said they would be happy to give him O2 in an emergency. I don't know who that is but wanted to thank him for that.
Also, Jonny gave me some advice about getting welding O2 and converting a medical regulator to it. Still working on that but I can't afford a DR. as I have no insurance at the moment. So, I'm gonna try that. Thanks, Jonny!
As for the fire station idea, I tried it the other day. I almost NEVER get a ch during the day and Wednesday I started up around 1:00pm. I was FREAKED! I got in the car and drove to the nearest fire station and explained to them what was going on. I explained I didn't want to go the ER because of the insurance thing and they gave me O2! I breathed for a little while and it aborted! First time that has EVER happened because, as you all have told me in the past, in the ER, it's too LATE!
Thank you all again for the help.
Peace,
Brad
