What an idiot. The neuro, not you. Do you have a fireplace? A gas stove? Do you burn candles?
Any semi-intelligent person knows not to smoke when using 02 and to respectfully take caution when using anything potentially dangerous. This is an insult to your intelligence in my mind. I suppose if you have to, lie about it.

I'm with Linda, Lie about it! I have a gas stove in my house, a fire place, and my wife uses candles all over the damned house. Just understand 02 is not flammable, it's an accelerant. So if anything saturated with oxygen, cathes fire, it'll burn fast and hot.
If you take very simple precautions, obviously don't smoke while you're using 02, walk around outside and let your clothes breathe after you use the 02, you'll have no problems. Good luck!

Technically, oxygen is the catalyst in combustion. It is not by itself flammable - there still needs to be fuel. Fire burns in the regular mix of atmospheric gases, which is approximately 21% oxygen.
Check out this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sab2Ltm1WcM
It shows a couple of guys pouring liquid oxygen onto a lit barbeque. Guiseppi's right - it makes a fire that's already burning burn much hotter and much faster. It's what killed the Apollo 1 astronauts - their capsule was pressurized with 100% oxygen, and when a spark inside ignited some cloth, everything inside burned hot and fast - including the astronauts.

Thats ridiculous ive smoked but was given oxygen!!!
Use the leaflet from ouch's website they are not allowed to refuse you use if you have been diagnosed with clusters!!
Linda is bang on, i keep my 02 upstairs away from naked flames like candles!!!
with the infromation on this website and OUCK UK you need to tell the doc what you require otherwise he will use you as a guinnea pig for drugs!!
Helen could help wheres lelimey when u need her!!!lol

Stuart,
A good place to start.
http://www.maplefallswebdesign.com/misc/oxygen/oxygen1.htm
Print this page out and take it to your Dr. Good luck and do NOT....repeat...NOT take no for an answer. We have to be our own best advocate in matters like this, because no one else will.

It's a pretty good service you get now the hoof's done.
D'you have a non-rebreather mask for it?
http://www.clustermasx.com/ is what a few clusterheads swear by and they're UK based. Your O2 suppliers should know what was supplied with your kit - and it is the high flow O2 cylinder that's been delivered isn't it?
Good luck and hope it works as well for you as for me!

Awesome that it's working for you. Just one more suggestion. Many find the headache keeps coming back when they shut off the oxygen. They have posted that by slogging down an energy drink, or even a strong cup of coffee, as soon as they start the oxygen, they can extend the time between the attacks. Might be worth a try.

At least your doc was honest enough to say that is why they won't give you O2. I smoke and I think that is why I have always been denied as well.
Thanks to the good info on this board, I finally took matters into my own hands and got O2. I wish I would have known how to do this three years ago. It feels wonderful to not be on so many perscription drugs.

ok,neuro refused oxygen due to smoking,people on here told me to twist the truth a little,so i told my doctor that the neuro said he would prescribe the things she couldnt(verapamil & prednisolone)and he told me to give her the hoof part filled form to just sign and fax off.give it a try yourself or you could end up taking crazy medication cocktails that would kill a cow(cattle)but wont help your clusters.stuart

You're a right-sider, aren't you? Looks like your right eye is your cluster eye.

Think it is the camera reversing things~~~Clusters in my left eye and then my right eye droops  That was taken when out of cycle even and I am still virtually one eyed. Oh these beastly things! They have so much to offer us....
