Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all my cluster buddys and their families. May we all have some pain free time with our loved ones.

I appreciate the go ahead! I am ECH as well, I have never used 02 before, but I'm currently awaiting delivery of my first tank in the next 15 minutes. My current treatment is taking vitamin L in 4 day increments, due to Christmas coming up, and I have been on the vitamin D regimen for about a week and a half. I have not been taking Vitamin K with it, because I had to order it (wasn't at Costco or grocery) but have taken everything else. So far, no change, but I'm going to up my dose soon here. I'm 6' 4" and about 230 lbs ( or 190 cm and 105 kg for those of us on the correct system ^_^) so I'm guessing I'll need more than the usual 10k ius anyway. I appreciate the feedback, I'm dancing around my house waiting for this O2 tank. I've never used it as an abortive before, but have heard such great things about it from everybody.

Fella1234 please don't be worried about using oxygen. I can't begin to tell you how much less I fear the attacks if I have my tank. I've had just one attack go full blown in over 12 yrs and only recently because Ive no emergency tank in Australia like I do in uk. Like most people on here I've tried quite a few meds, most didnt help me, some gave me nasty side effects, so hadnt been using any since o2, with the recent exceptions of trying to break the start of this cycle and end the last one, only when I realised the little CH b@stard had changed anyway, despite me believing that we had a deal on cycle length. If you've not tried d3, I'd definitely give it a go. For me it's worked quicker than prednisone in stopping the attacks - PF nearly 3 weeks with only 1 breakthrough when I dropped dose. *if* o2 gives me rebounds and its not just a pattern change - i still take it anyway! The thought of enduring a full 3hr attack compared to relief within 15 min's! If i was rebounds it could be that my technique is poor. And it could just be what happens to me wouldn't happen to you. I'm an ECH with what I believe is a non standard pattern and response. Im sure others will share their support for oxygen, but if you're busting I assume O2 is one of your better abortives anyway? I'm sorry I've scared you, absolutely not my intention, please give the O2 a go.

I am guessing that Batch will show up soon to give the most reliable answer to your D3 question. If not, you can PM him (though I am curious to see his response, so I hope he replies here). Thank you very much for the lithium info. I will keep that in mind. Yesterday, on another thread, I suggested that rebound attacks after O2 aren't a real thing. Would you mind saying a little more about yours? In the most recent study of rebounds, the general conclusion was that at proper flow rates and with "better techniques in oxygen application," rebounds were pretty much a thing of the past (they were reported by Kudrow at the very beginning of O2 use, in 1981). But if you get them, you get them. Did you stop using O2, or have you just accepted the likelihood of rebounds? And did Ben Khan tell you about rebounds, or about O2? Thank you.
