Thanks for your advice. I have tried O2 and it worked very well, but i am disabled vet and if anyone in here is a vet they know how hard it is to get VA doctors to give u what u want. Most of the doctors i have spoke with are foreign doctors who just want to keep trying the samething. I have a closet full of imitrex injections and bottles and bottles of verapimil and depakote. When i get into a seriously bad cycle they give me prednisone to try and break it. I think the whole situation sucks though. Everytime I go to take a nap or go to bed i wonder how long it will take to start, then i get up so i don't wake up my wife with my pain and anger. It is nice to have a place to come and vent though, especially to people who know what I am talking about. I am a chronic sufferer with an occassional 4 or 5 day break. My worst cycle was about 6 months ago. I was having 6- 8 ch's a day lasting 2 to 3 hours each and nothing was helping, lasted for about 3 weeks. I thought i was in serious trouble with that one. Well thanks for listening
