During my last cycle I got hold of a small O2 bottle at work and when I found out how well it worked I wanted my own! I called up and found out I needed a script! Called my doctor who had already prescribed Sumatriptan and Amlodipine and told her that I discovered that O2 worked. I got a big run-around from the O2 supplier, I won't go into it, but Medical O2 is a big racket in Florida. They wanted to do a study to see if I could use a concentrator (no way) and I wound up with a tiny tank that cost a fortune to rent and fill. It lasted a day. I talked to some friends and discovered that welding O2 was the same as medical O2, my doctor had a fit, said it was not. I found out many welders use their O2 when hung over, ect. You won't die from it. I went to a welding shop and got a 4 ft tall tank , filled with O2, for about 250.00 and an O2 regulator for 99.00. They made me a hose to fit the outlet of the regulator. I crack the valve open, turn the knob so I get a nice flow of O2, soft enough so I can stop the flow with my thumb. I empty my lungs and inhale deeply, exhale and do it over and over again. no mask at all. My sinuses are plugged at that point anyway so why bother with a mask? I can go from a cluster that is full blown, me screaming and pounding on my head pleading with god, to complete relief in about 5 minutes or less. I try to catch it before it gets that bad if I can. if it comes back... more O2. It costs about 50.00 for a refill and I am in control of it. I can go through a big tank in a week or less. Or it can sit in my closet for over 2 years like the last cluster free period ready for action when I need it. Medical O2 cannot be had at that volume and would cost a fortune where I live. I have a smaller tank at work now and an even smaller one in the car. I know some won't agree with this but it's a matter of survival for me. I have had no ill effects. I posted this in hope it will help someone else, good luck!
