According to the gauge on my tanks, a shitload.
;)

I did about a tank and a half from 12:30 to 7:30. maybe about 800 to 900 litres.
Looks like the MoneeMan needs to have his schedule cleared and take time for a nice dose of the clusterbuster tea.

I'd say so. Sorry you're having a bad time, honey. :'(
Please be sure not to go over 20 minutes at a time on the O2. You don't want to over do...

hugs and love, nani

If it's risk-free for you, I'd seriously think about it. Good luck, brutha.

Nani, not over 20 minutes, why is that? The dryness?
And you mean 20 minutes at one time, right?
Thanks

Yes, at a time. My understanding is that 100% O2 for more than 20 minutes (at a time) can actually be harmful. You can over oxygenate yourself. I got this info from a paramedic as I was huffing on his O2, LOL.
If it hasn't aborted after 20 minutes, it's probably not going to work anyway.
If I'm wrong, LOL... I'm sure someone will tell me. ;)

Not sure about it hurting you, but Nani is right about the 20 min thing...if it aint worked after 20 it more than likely aint going to.

I have heard that +0:20 on the O2 can damage the aveoli in your lungs.

That's why God made air out of only 20% O2 (for you religious types). ;;D

Oxygen CAN cause scarring of the lungs if used excessively, I don't think any of us have much to worry about but I can only reiterate what the others have said, if 20 minutes doesn't do the trick then 25 won't either.
Are you using any other meds Brian? Have you ever tried Red Bull or it's equivalents? May be a useful stop gap if you need time to detox or you don't have a window you can dose in soon.

I dont take any other meds for the CH. (well actually I do take the melatonin cocktail every night) I havent tried red bull but maybe I should get some. Is that for the taurine?

I have tried verap and neurontin, but they didn't seem to help me.

It's amazing, like Mike said, we forget how painful these bastards can be. We know they are extremely painful, but forget what extremely painful feels like until we are doing the LamBada with an O2 tank.

its some crazy stuff.

Man that's a lot of sucking! Your new nickname is officially "Hoover" ;;D

Sorry your getting hit so hard. Hope it ends soon.

Brian I think its the mix of caffeine and taurine that makes it ork as caffeine is a vaso constrictor too and alot of people swear by strong coffee.. it works for me if I can take it soon enough.
Good luck with it!

I have read that one of the effects of taurine is that it intensifies the effect of caffeine. So, taken together, and soon enough, I can see how it could knock the beast out.

Using a non-rebreather mask & a "bubbler"?

The "bubbler" will provide moisture.

*Hope this helps some & I hope you feel better soon.
Pain Free's to you.

aww, B$.....no pun intended, that sucks! You must be utterly exhausted!
Give me a call if you want to vent, or if you need anything at all....

Gee Brian, soory you needed to go there. I'll have to chime in on the twenty minutes though. I agree. If mine isn't working in 15, I'm reaching for the Relpax.

Jesus H Christ, what a day.
The O2 was helping, but it was working pretty slowly. I got hit like 4 times and each time it took about 10 minutes just to take the sharp edge off, say from a Kip9 to a Kip7.

But, just as I threw in the towel and gave up cooking up some ribs in the back yard with my family, I had a voicemail from a little ClusterAngel, with a small piece of advice about a....ssmmm......smite.......smit......smip, some thing that starts with an S and I never heard that term before. I figured I'd give it a shot. A little something under the tongue and 20 minutes later the MoneeMan's in the back yard cooking up ribs!!
We ate like Pigs!

Thanks Doll, you're an angel.
:-*

That would be SPUT - Small Piece Under Tounge

Glad it worked for you. Give the bastard hell.

Thanks to that Cluster Angel for helping out like that, too. I just love this family.
