Clusters and Flying ...

Just had a crappy trip to New Hampshire. Flew up, and then took two days to fly back!!! Damn that snow!!! No wonder I moved down to North Carolina!!!
Anyway, on the return trip, I had an experience that I need to pass on. I was flying Southwest Airlines. Naturally I did not have my O2 with me. As many of you know, with my heart, I cannot take imitrex. As luck would have it, I got hit on the flight. I was trying to deal with it without meds. There happened to be a doctor sitting in the next seat. He asked my daughter-in-law what was happening. She told him, and said that the only thing that worked was pure oxygen. The doctor went to the stewardess, and found out they had a bottle of oxygen on board. It only went to 6 LPM, but I tried it anyhow. Guess what? It actually worked!!! Most times I need 15 LPM, but this time I lucked out and the 6 LPM did the job!
So, if you are on a flight, and don't have an abortive, ask for the oxygen that they ALL carry onboard! It just may work, or at least keep it at a bearable level!
I made no preflight arrangements. Did not even tell them about it, beforehand.
Just thought you all could use this info on your next flight.
Good luck in flying, and hope your flight, at least, is painfree!
Chuck

Did you avoid the in-flight $100 usage fee? Is the trick having a "Doctor" sit next to you, and tell the flight attendants how to avoid a lawsuit?
Dang, but yer slick, Chuckles.
