...point taken devonrex..... your situation breaks my heart and i mean no disrespect.....there are no absolutes for clusterheads.... ....sometimes the decades of frustration with the medical community and insurance companies that have failed us through indifference and ignorance gets to me.... i find it especially hurtful when some of the tools that help so many are unknown, misused.... or thrown at us in a useless manner.....and an opportunity to save so much anguish is lost...

Thank you, devonrex. I appreciate your caution about this, and will be more careful. I could quibble with some of your points, but what you say is wise and appreciated, and I will remember it.

To be blunt, the couple of 'absolutes' I have seen in this thread are a bit disheartening. With just a quick search 02 is effective at total or partial aborts for 70-80% of patients, there are still patients, such as me, who get little to no relief from any flow rate of 100% o2. As for imitrex, it was 100% effective for me, for about 6 months, then I began getting 1 in 4 times that it failed to do anything, up to a point when it was about 2-3 in 4 that failed to work, so with the associated cost, other considerations I stopped using them. I am a refractory chronic ch sufferer with 5+ attacks daily, from all the other reading here I have seen many many variation in efficacy to treatments, to suggest if one thing does not work then you do not have this hellish thing, is a bit of a slap to those who do have this and are getting fucked because shit is never 100% with ch. Other than it 100% sucks.
