Does o2 work for migraines?????

Does anyone here know if 02 works on migraines and other types of headaches or only on ch? I get ch once in awhile, but I have migraines 4 or 5 times a week. I try not to take anything for them unless they are really bad because I don't want the rebound headaches. Does o2 cause a rebound headache? Any info would be great I am very new to all of this.
Thanks

April ...since I never had a migraine, I can't comment personally... but I DID have a hangover ...uh, ONCE (or several dozen/hundred times,) and o2 is *Definitely* up there with a Bloody Mary for helping THAT one ...
... I'm also not sure about the *rebound* question, since I don't use the meds that cause these..... but I'm pretty sure that oxygen just kicks one MOFO after another... no side effects, no bullshit, and sadly, no GUARANTEES.....
Try the o2 without fear... statistically, it's the most effective abortive we have in The Arsenal (next to Imitrex, which has LOTS of sides)....... Good Luck!

I was told by a rather knowledgeable CH nurse at the ER that they know I have CH and not migraines because the only headaches that O2 will help is cluster and hangover.

Wendy what do you take for your migraines. It seems like everything causes another headache with me.

If you need questions answered about meegraines you should seek out a meegraine site, there are hundreds of them. this is the only CH site that is any good and we should keep it CH and CH only.
JMHO

All right Jonny! 
I've emailed you Middlecook.
There are quite a few people on here like us who get both CH and migraine, but it is preferred if the migraine part of the discussions are held elsewhere.
Talk to you by email!

Im sorry Wendy, Im not trying to piss anyone off but it does say at the front door of this site
"This site is devoted completely and exclusively to those that suffer from, and to the supporters of those who suffer from Cluster Headaches!"
If anyone wants to dispute that they should take it up with the owner and webmaster of this site.
