Dear Linda,
I know how you feel: disappointed......defeated.....doomed to this Godforsaken condition forever.
I sincerely wish you luck finding relief. One additional note on the “water” treatment. In addition
to your regimen of water-drinking, try cutting salt out of your diet completely. Until I made a
conscious decision to do this, the water wasn’t working for me either. Once I read the Doc’s post
concerning the “water” thing, I realized that cutting out salt may be an important part of making
this work for me. Now that I’m avoiding salt, I can’t believe how much I used to consume. Plus,
I now realize how much I crave it. Since cutting it out, the water method is working much better
for me. I’m still having headaches, but they’re less frequent and more tolerable. Lastly, if oxygen
is not working well for you, try another method of battling your “monsters” when you’re actually
going through them - like applying ice-cold to your face and neck. You may even want to try this
in combination with the oxygen. Whatever you do - PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP!! My heart goes
out to you - you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to search for a solution to your
terrible problem. Please stop back to read this message board from time to time - you never
know when you might read a post that translates into a major breakthrough for you, and
hopefully everyone else. At least here, you’re not alone! Good luck and God bless. --Vince
