Wow! What stamina you must have. My last cycle was 4 yrs ago so I feel very fortunate. Oxygen was suggested to me here on this site and it's worked wonders for me. It stops the pain long enough for the meds to kick in. I think I know what you mean about not leaving the house without your meds. I keep mine in my coat pocket. It's not the most convenient spot in the middle of the night, but I always know where they are and there's no forgetting them at home! Probably nothing you don't already know, I find that 10 minutes delay in getting the medication in can make a big difference in the pain intensity. After reading from you people who have chronic pain, I resolve to whine about my cycle less. Hang in there and perhaps plan more camping trips? Jim
