Hi. Nice to meet you. My name is Dave. Your post does not sound negative to me. I enjoy my Oxygen and Imitrex injections when I have a Cluster attack. I prefer to inhale the Oxygen at 8 Liters per minute with a full face mask for up to 15 minutes; however, when that doesn’t seem to work I go for the Imitrex injection. Is your doctor a Neurologist? Perhaps if you were to print some things from this web-site and take them to your doctor he/she would understand that Oxygen and/or Imitrex MAY work for you. You may also want to visit the “Where we live” page and E-mail a fellow clusterhead from your area that may be able to direct you to a different Neurologist in your area. Keep posting and checking the message board. Others will respond to your post with thoughts and ideas to help you. Good Luck!
