Title: Not Covered.Help Getting Imitrex & Oxygen.
Post by JohnMcCloy on Aug 31^st, 2006, 12:20pm

Unfortunately im not covered and after having to go into work 2 hours today because of these things im convinced i need something besides the things i have been taking.I need actual drugs.

I never had the oppurtunity to give imitrex and oxygen a chance because when i was a kid and suffered with these the doctors never wrote me a scrip for them so I had no idea till I came here just how effective they are.

Im really suffering so If anyone knows of any good websites where i might be able to find what im looking for i would really appreciatte it.I was in tears this morning thinking about how I have another month of these.

Thanks

Welding oxygen is a cheap alternative. Requires a somewhat modified regulator hook up but requires no doctors visit or prescription.

RE: Oxygen...If there is no medical reason for not using oxygen, then rent/lease a welder's tank from a local welding or farm supply, a regulator from Mr. Happy here on ch.com and a non-rebreather mask.
