Hi all,
Sorry to say the beast has returned, I felt empowered this time with new drugs and for the first time O2. My Doc has me on Maxalt, it seems to work better for me then Imitrex, (Imitrex gave me a wicked hangover the next day.) My attacks are more frequent, 3-4 during the day and 2-3 at night with the nightly attacks being kip9-10. I have an appointment at the Headache Clinic Thursday hoping for some relief. It has been 8 weeks straight so far. This has been one of my longer cycles. Here's wish PFNAD to all.
Thanks for being there,
Andy

Sounds familiar, like the thick of things right now Andy. The oxygen addition should help. Tomorrow's doc appt should perhaps look for preventatives for you I hope. Good luck to you and keep posted, cycles do end, hang in, hang tough. Sending good vibes to you.

Hey Andy,
The o2 as prescribed here has made a huge difference for me. Only thing is - i ran out of o2 this morning and have to wait for tomorrow  also ran out of maxalts this morning and have to wait for tomorrow (imitrex was a problem for me too). 2nd day of verap and - well - preventative has always been a problem word for me  ho-humm.....
good luck at doc and pf wishes

I used to think that there was nothing worse than drinking the last beer in the case when the bottle shop was close. that was until I experienced Ch and ran out of O2.
Always find peace in knowing that things will improve
