That's why I don't eat any kind of seafood, it is disgusting.
My water is highly filtered or pure spring water, I even shower in filtered water because the water in Los Angeles is a toxic yellow out of the tap and smells like Clorox, shit or both.

Fitz!...it was a joke...and funny...and previously said a little more pithily by W.C. Fields Shocked

FWIW...and my ADMITTED bias.... as I've made my living in the seafood industry for the past 30 yrs...

Seafood is darn near the perfect protein. Low in saturated fat...high in polyunsaturates...high in flavor....high in omega-3 fatty acids....high in minerals....lower in calories than red meat....

I could tell you a HORROR story about ANY food you could name...but don't do it anymore with my family...or this family....

As Julia Childs said: "All things in moderation....including moderation"

BTW...wouldn't touch that water either.

Best,

I know it was a joke and a very funny one but, I am not joking, I won't eat fish because the smell alone makes me throw up never mind the fact the all seafood comes out of the dirty nasty sea that has been polluted for centuries.

On another note, today is the 1st day since I can remember that I woke up without a headache.
I have not taken any pills in 2 days now and only done one 3mg shot, the oxygen has been working overtime though.
I now have a 5' tall 12: wide oxygen bottle and 4 portable bottles and Apria finally showed up with a use-less non-rebreather mask that does not fit my face and I can't get a seal with. So I am breathing the O2 straight from the hose into my mouth when needed.

My big O2 bottle is almost empty and will be by tomorrow morning. All of you that have replied to my thread with info and advice, thank you very much.

If it's a non-rebreather, at least the O2 can accumulate in the bag so you can "gulp" it in.

As to it not fitting, you're not using the little green elastic strap, are you? Cut that sucker off of there and hold it against your face with your hand to make a tight seal.

We clusterheads use O2 more like a winded running back than a heart transplant patient.

I am sure it has been asked before but, do seasonal changes have anything to do with the frequency of headaches?
This is the 3rd fall in a row where the severity and frequency of my headaches is amazingly high.
I have been pretty lucky for the past week and only had short boughts that get inline quick with O2 but, I have a headache now that is on the verge of pissing me off and O2 is not helping.

I remember a recent thread where there were some observations that yes, due to circadian rhythms and their effect on the hypothalamus, CH attacks often go into high cycle at the changing of the seasons.

I wonder if either upping your flow rate, hyperventialting the O2, optimizing your arterial PH a la the Batch protocol, or all of the above could get the O2 working better for you here in high cycle?

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.

Glad the 02 has been working, have you seen the Batch Arterial PH diet yet? 02 stuttered for me last cycle and scared the heck outta me, 30 hours on the "diet" and 02 was back online again, it's pretty simple, it changes your ph levels making you less succeptible to attacks.

Magnesium, zinc, Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D, washed down with lemonade, up to 4X daily.

Cheap, simple, sure worth a shot.
