Hi Pete! Getting on the O2 as soon as possible makes aborting a hit faster...the higher the kip when you start huffing the longer it takes to abort in my experience. I hate energy shots and drinks so I use either coffee or hot tea....before I hit the rack, I have either a cup of joe or water in the microwave and a tea bag out of the wrapper....As soon as I wake. I start the microwave and hit the O2...When the bell goes off I grab the mug and drink it down as quickly as I can and get back on the O2. Last thing before Goin back to bed is getting a mug ready for the next go round. This is a link to a video a clusterbuster friend made recently. Breathing technique starts at the 2 min mark.

Cory, I echo what CHFather, DD and Spiny said, and will add... This isn't a strategic military mission!, where you send in a few of your men to see if they can kill the enemy, and if not, you send in a few more. Killing the Beast is like D-DAY!! Send in everything you've got, then send in some more. Hit it from all directions, all at once, from the air, ground and sea. Use every available weapon in your arsenal to utterly destroy it! Anything less than that, and you're just teasing the beast. Abortives: O2 should be number 1, used with every attack. Energy drink too And any injection meds the doctor gives that are safe to take. Preventatives: Vitamin D3 regimen at full dosage Magic mushrooms and/or RC Seeds or doctor meds Melatonin Post-Attack: Water, water and more water Coffee is nice too Chocolate Watch out for those land mines (triggers) and avoid them at all costs. Once the dust settles, and the war is won, you (i.e. your husband) can back off and experiment to find what works, what keeps them away and what stops them. But from what you've described of where he is at the moment, I'd be throwing anything and everything I could at it. Get in a better place, then reevaluate what works and what doesn't. Just my 2 cents. I'm super excited about the progress you've made, you're so on the right track. This is a great group of people, isn't it? Wish I could bring every Cluster Head in the world here and we could help them one by one. I spent so many years in pain going the doctor route, when I should have started my journey here. Also, something that occurred to me while reading your post. From a very personal point of view, I'm delighted that I've been able to contribute and help. I can look back at my years of extreme pain with a sense of satisfaction. I've beat (am beating) the beast, and more than that, I've lived through it to help others. Hang in there. You are not alone.

You are a great supporter Cory! It also sounds like he heas a rather enlightened doctor. I am so glad that he is getting relief now. Hopefully he will soon be PF. Isn't it amazing that something as simple as vitamins and melatonin can help? I look forward to reading more on his journey to PF status. Hang in there and he might even concede to trying the O2!!
