Title: A rare hurrah for Doctors
Post by Wendy the Brit on Jul 7^th, 2003, 6:36am

Just thought I would say a hurrah for a decent neuro and doctor for once and that there is hope for a change!
I am in my second cycle and got hit twice last night, I know this is nothing in comparison with many of you.
Prepared myself to do battle with my Doctor, went in armed with the pages printed from here and OUCH UK on O2. A huge thank you to those who put so much work into the information on both sites.
She said "Oh yes, the neurologist wrote to me and said if you went into cycle again I should give you oxygen".
I sat there with a mouth open like a fish!

Just working on getting the right cylinder and apparatus now.

The other thing that was interesting is that in the surgery waiting room was a General Health guide for patients. Under headaches, Clusters were listed as as separate type, and were described absolutely correctly.

More mouth open like a fish!

Word is getting out!

And it's a good example of how good education changes our world more effectively than empty anger!
