Title: o2 ?
Post by Tim_w on Jan 22^nd, 2003, 6:13pm

Just one (?) Is there anyone else,other than me that 02 dosen't work for them?
o2 dosen't work and Imatrex dosen't work any more.
The only thing that helps is 720mg and Maxalt, But you can only get 72 Maxalt pills for 90 days, Max 3 a day 6 aweek, not enought for 8 to 10 peeks a day up to 12 on bad day! >:( Thanks for your input Tim_w / aka Happy Pappy ;D ???

Oxygen worked for about 1 1/2 years for me. Then it quit working and hasn't worked since.

My dr for many years perscribed me percacet and stadol ns to take when I couldn't take imitrix because I ran out. That way I had full coverage for all my ha. Now keep in mind the narcotics didn't abort the ha but it dulled the pain down enough to wear I could keep from killing myself or going to the ER. Just a thought.

I started to use O2 today. Actually three times from 2 am to 9 am. My first kip6 went away in 5 minutes but others exended (is it a right word?) during O2 from kip 6 to 10 in 10 minutes. It isn't work for me. But half of Imigran injection helped. My 'steroid tour' starts tomorrow :-/ with an infusion like your Prednisone.

I've only been using the O2 since July, but so far so good, although it only aborts about 60% of the headaches. I can't use any of the other abortives available so when the O2 doesn't work, I am left with narcotics to take the edge off so I don't put my head under a moving vehicle.

Here's hoping that Feb 3rd at Walter Reed Army Medical Center will find me a combo of preventatives and abortives that a) won't kill me and b) WORKS
