Signals I pay for my 02 out of pocket, it was cheaper for me in the long run. My insurance company has a set price on how much a tank is but when I asked about paying for it on my own the price dropped about $250 bucks. I have a company that I found just outside of Philadelphia that I get tanks dropped off at my house the day after I call in my order. They started me off with 2 M60 and i think 4 E tanks, due to the lack of record keeping and the delivery driver being understanding/not caring I have a good stock pile of tanks now. Be ready for a fight, it took me more then a few months of yelling at and arguing with different 02 shops and vendors to get what I have now. As far as busing goes you can become a farmer and grow your own at home. This is not the portion of the board to talk about it but read up and sk questions and you will have a tun of help and support here.

Dilons20 I don't know how they will set you up but with my 02 company I do not own or pay a rental fee for my tanks. I have a deal that was originally set up for 2 m60 tanks and 4 E tanks to be refilled or (swapped out is more like it). I have ended up getting a few extra tanks over the last few years and kind of stock piled them. My 02 company does not know how many tanks I have and I am chronic so I have no plans on giving anything back to them. I would hold on to your tanks when you are out of cycle because it is hard enough to get what you need to start up why do that all over again on the next cycle. As far as I know oxygen does not go bad sitting in the tanks and you never know when the shit will hit the fan so it is better to have them then not.

the pain will vary from one to another we all tolerate pain different so the fact that you do not think yours are as bad does not mean they are not clusters. Just hope that they never get that bad. After I started busting and got on the D3 my pain levels dropped and the length they last is shorter but they are still clusters and still fun to deal with.

Getting the head scans and tested is a good start to rule out anything else. Next doctors visit you have try to get a prescription for oxygen. You will need to use a non rebreather mask and a flow rate of up around 25lpm. You can search oxygen on this site and find a tun of information on it. I will also down a 5hr energy drink on my way to the oxygen to help abort the attack faster, some will use coffee or other energy drinks. The Vitamin D3 is another good thing that will not hurt starting today and will help with more then just cluster headaches. Read up on this site and ask a lot of questions and people on here will be more helpful then any doctors you will meet. Welcome to the site.

A few people have used this in the past. If you search CBD in the upper right corner you will find the post with all the info they had to offer, no harm in reactivating a older post with new questions.

I am chronic so I do not have normal cycles but I do have changes in my attacks. Last week I was doing great with only one cluster a day, Saturday hit and they started climbing and by Tuesday I was up to 5. The pain and length of each got worse each time. This is normal for me when the seasons start to change and yes it does suck but mine will hopefully settle down a bit. I take all of the D3 regimen and I add Benadryl 3 times a day when the seasons start to change and things ramp up for me. Not that this will help you feel any better but you are not alone. As far as your clusters changing sides, I have heard of this happen to other members on this board but it has never happened to me.

Sorry,this is no longer available. Maybe someone else will see this post and will have something they can send you. If I come across another I will let you know.

Welcome to the site! You will want to see a neurologist and or a headache specialist to have a few scans of your head done just to rule out anything major going on. Once you are declared a cluster head and given that id card you will have all the benefits of denied help from most of the doctors you will see. You are one of the lucky ones.. on a more serious note, click on the banner on the top of this page and read as much as you can on this site. Do not be afraid of asking a million questions! Oxygen is what you will want to get your hands on to abort your cluster attacks, this is the hardest thing to get doctors to prescribe to you (comment above). Read up on the vitamin D3 and Busting. Nobody has a cure for this lovely condition but we here all work together to make things as comfortable as we can. Some including myself will down a energy drink at the first twinge of a cluster coming on and this helps hold down the intensity a little so we can get to our oxygen. Keep a positive outlook and open mind and you will be just fine.. It is hard sometimes but people here are willing to listen and help get through the crappy times with you.

A few things about the boost oxygen that stick out to me are it is 95% oxygen and that is lower then the medical grade witch may not be that big of a deal and only take longer to abort the attack. The bigger issue I see is that even the largest canister they have is only 10 liters of oxygen, I use E size tanks very often and even when my hits are not that bad I average about 4 aborts per tanks. A E tanks holds about 680 liters of oxygen so I use about 170 liters per attack. I did not see the pressure the boost can is at so I have no idea if the flow rate would be fast enough to support your breathing during a attack. Dont get me wrong, if I were stuck out on the road with nothing at all I would not turn this option down but I do not think I would spend to much time or energy stocking up on them when you can set up a welding tank and get much better results with a larger tank.

This is still available. If you or anyone you know needs the smaller size cluster oxygen mask please let me know and I will send it to them. this is the mask with the yellow edges around the mask and it is brand new, never used.

That is good that you now have a company that will supply you with oxygen. Now it is time to start playing the game with them to get more then the one tank. I have found that the person who delivers the tank it more sympathetic and will most likely hand you a extra tank from time to time. Start out trying to collect e tanks, they are smaller amd nice to keep in the car with you. You will want more then one tank so they do not need to come to your house as often for delivers. With only one tank you will need to plan well so you do not run out over a weekend and be stuck with no o2. As far as billing goes my local company is a flat monthly rate for up to 3 delivers so they do not charge per tank. I call and order tanks when I have a few empties and always add a extra. Most times I will use another tank before they deliver. Bottom line is get to know your delivery person and figure out how to work the system to your advantage. You do need this and they should not make it so hard. For me paying out of pocket was much cheaper then using insurance.

I have a child size oxygen mask kit that needs a good home. If you are or know of someone who is in need of a brand new o2 mask kit for a child please let me know and I will send it to you. This is the opti mask kit that attaches to your regulator.

I would highly recommend getting oxygen to abort your attacks. No rebounds or side effects
