because O2 is not 100%. My most recent encounter was lifting a heavy piece of equipment that retore a back tendon from an old injury. I requested PT from my doctor, but he said let's try Zanaflex first. While I haven't had a cluster since last April, a couple of hours after taking the Zanaflex, was hit with a Kip 7, O2, ice packs, nothing would break that sucker, the right side of my face was inflamed. Took 8 long miserable hours for the med to wear off then the CH finally broke plus my stomach was upset and my back hurt just as bad.
Went right back to my doctor and reported, well he said the Zanaflex is the cheaper alternative, I am back with miofacial theraphy and even one session made a huge difference, I found a woman that really knows her business.
O2 has been useless in a rebound, in my three month cycle last year, what a waste, 25% of the year fighting these bastards, I went med free and O2 always worked.
I know I am an eight ball here, but meds for CH's have consistently been my major problems. Maybe others on this board are like me and that's the reason O2 won't work.
