Well it hit with vengeance last nite... current cycle is now nesring 3 months...am on new meds starting yesterday and as a result I can not take my Imitrex for awhile... last niteI got hammered and after 2 hours woke my wife and told to get me to the hospital NOW..that is a first for me...I had been sucking oxygen at home last night to no avail... and what do they do at thh hospital?? OYXGEN!! But i got relief in appx. 1/2 hour.. they put me on a higher lever flow which resulted in like 80% oxygen compared to my setup with a simple face mask at home yielded only like 50% oxygen... so they gave me 2 of these high volume bags to try today and tonite... they have like a drop down plastic bag under the face mask which holds the oxygen from the tank..that way you breath only oxygen.. I think that is what worked last night..i am sure I will get another "opportunity" haha to try it again tonite!!
WIll let ya know.
