If I were you, I would examine very, very carefully everything you eat. Do what the doctors can't do for you and become an expert about foods and your body's reactions. Often we suffer from chemicals in foods we eat almost every day, things like corn, eggs, maltodextrin, corn sugars, etc. It isn't that each time we eat any amount of the food, we get a headache or feel headachey, but rather it builds in us like water behind a dam. The more we feed our body things that wear down the immune system and the more we do things like endure stress or lack of sleep or almost anything that taxes the immune system, the more "water" builds up behind the dam until it breaks.
You should study your diet. And study the chemicals you are exposed to at home or out-of-doors, things like various types of molds and other common chemicals.
I think one of the reason oxygen helps some people is because it helps to purify the blood, though I'm out of my expertise to say much about it.
Best of luck. e-mail me @ dgabecker@yahoo.com if you would like to communicate about it. I've been free (with one exception) for about six years.
