Today one month ago I have suffered the pain every day, many times every night
I had never before had the pain so many time and every day for 30 days!.
Oxygen aborts the crisis but only for a few minutes but one or one a half after the paint comes again and I go to the oxygen again, and the paint leaves I return to bed and one or one half later again! It's a really bad cycle in the last 30 nights of my life.
I already feel myself exhausted, and when three days ago I thought that it had improved and the pain already left because this night I only met the beast once,then the night after that I saw it 5 times!
The worst thing is that yesterday night the oxygen delayed a little but in abort the pain
When I take O2, the pain usually leaves in two or three minutes and yesterday it was more than that times (7 or 8 minutes) ( At 11 litles per minute)
Does somebody have a similar experience?
My new doctor knows of the cluster and she prescribed me a betablock of calcium, she didn't want to read or simply take in her hands the information that I printed from this site about CH. She told me that later but she didn't do.
She also told me that the headaches that I had when I was 18 years old and in the 26's had been the first manifestation of the cluster.
If that is true, the devil and I had been "married" more of 30 years (I have 52 now)
That's my sad story today.
Excuse me but really I'm very depressed today.
