Good Luck, but we already know how pursuasive you can be when you're right!  I know you'll be fine.

Good Luck
 
Welder’s Oxygen (or The Friendly Neighborhood Fire Department!)
 
Sometimes uninformed doctors don’t want to prescribe medicinal oxygen for headaches, even though we know it does help.  We’ve checked with the Poison Control center and welder’s oxygen is safe.  It’s best, however, to use a non-rebreather mask to inhale the oxygen, otherwise the risk of tearing lung tissue is present.  Many clusterheads have reported that their local fire department will allow them to use their oxygen if they can't get it any other way.  Introduce yourself as a cluster headache sufferer and ask them if you can use their oxygen to try to abort an attack.  Print out as much info as you can from www.clusterheadaches.com about oxygen therapy and take it with you when you talk to them.  Here is some info on it: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/about.html#Oxygen , or you can also type “oxygen” in the search button at that website to read hundreds of posts on how it has helped people there.

Hey Jen,
 
Are you seeing a Neurologist?  That seems to be the path of least resistence when it comes to O2.  I've seen enough examples of GPs not being willing to perscribe it for CH where Neurologists (who know CH anyway) are more forthcoming.  If he still won't give in, get a referral to a Neuro.
 
Good luck hun...
