Title: Thanks for the warm welcome!
Post by Hirvimaki on Aug 19^th, 2003, 8:52am

All: Thanks so much for the warm welcome. For those of you that wanted more info, here it is. I've been battling these headaches for a few years now. At first, like most people that get them, I had no clue what a cluster headache even was; I assumed that I was getting migraines and tension headaches. I have a wonderful doctor who gave me info on clusters and "opened my eyes". After going through the trial and error of perscriptions drugs (Imitrex is the only one that I've kept around) my doctor suggested oxygen therapy. I've been using oxygen for about six months now, and although not a cure, it certainly makes my life livable again. And I feel more comfortable taking oxygen than taking pills - although I do keep that Imitrex around just in case... Not sure what else to say. Thanks again for welcoming me and I hope to get to know all of you and maybe help out from time to time.
