Title: Need oxygen prescription in Nashville, TN
Post by amberajax on Nov 24^th, 2008 at 11:42am

My wife suffers from cluster headaches and is unable to locate a neurologist who will write her a prescription for an oxygen tank. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Whoever diagnosed her with Ch should be the one you consult. If they dont know about O2, print out the info here and bring it to their office.

If not that doctor, her primary care physciian should be the one.

Good luck.

If all else fails, look into welder's oxygen. It isn't terribly expensive and can be used. Others with more experience using welder's oxygen can respond with more information.

Hello there.

I am sorry to hear that your wife is suffering. Now not to knock anyone trying to help you on here, but they may just send you a list of Dr's names from the Ouch Website. Some of those Dr's don't practise and some are just useless as I have been to them all, so let me save you a lot of time and give you the name of a doctor who gets it and will help. She is worth the 45 minute drive to Clarksville from Nashville. I would go 5 hours to see her. She has my headaches undercontrol and for a person that doesn't feel the pain, she really understands how truly horrible it is.
