Is O2 just a "medicine" like Ricardo says?
Following the links to the left I find :Sakai and Meyer (1979) have shown that marked cerebral vasoconstriction results from the administration of 100 percent oxygen during cluster headache attacks. Whether this effect is direct or is mediated centrally has not been studied. Oxygen also stimulates the synthesis of serotonin in the central nervous system (CNS) (Costa and Meek, 1974).
Ooookeedokey...That's some preety old stuff...
...now WHY in the world would O2 stop working?
Is this yet just another "Cluster mystery" that I'm supposed to accept on faith? That s#@% gets old.
Shakin my head.
