Hello,
luckily I switched from chronic to cycle (knock on wood) and didn't
post here in a while, but I read the messages regularly and so I want
to give my two cents worth:
Oxygen is a real helper and it aborted my attacks within 15 minutes after
beginning the treatment. It surely is a good abortive for me and when these
monsters show up the next time, I will have a tank ready at home.
My way of using it was during the night attacks, so I was able to keep my two
Imigran (Imitrex in the US) for attacks during the day.
Verapamil helped me a lot and these two medicines helped me to get out of a
chronic cluster.
Best wishes to your husband,
Lars
