Dave,
The 02 works for me too.I do not feel comfortable without 2 full tanks. I have a tank with me everywhere I go. My boss is really cooperative and let me move to another shift while this episode occurs.Days don't get it for me,I wake up in the morning w/ them sometimes.Joe O fits my cluster profile pretty close,but the 02 is my security blanket.As far w/dealing with the pain? I figure on a scale for pain from 1 to 10 I'd give clusters a 20.SO best find a preventitive that works for you quickly,cold air like a real crisp under 30 winter night always helped and being totally left alone to endure, but that was before the 02.Friend I went through 10 years ( 4 episodes) and to this day cannot say how I get through an attack? The last 9 yrs. with 02 have been much easier to endure. but I' still dread going to sleep at night, like right now.
clusterfree day Dave,
JerryLee
