Hey,
I know what you're going through.
I deal with Cluster headaches (similar to migraines and sometimes mis interpreted as them.)
I've been dealing with them for over half my life.
Recently, I've been using Oxygen to abort the headache after onset. 12L/Min. on a non rebreather mask.
I had to get a referral from my doc to see a respiratory therapist to get the oxygen tanks
This has really been helping a lot better than the medications after onset.
I've also started a daily medication of Amitriptyline, which has greatly reduced the frequency of my clusters.
I use to average 2-4 headaches a week, and now I'm down to 1-2 every 2 weeks. Greatly improvement to me.
I've grown accustom to handling and dealing with the headaches and know they will constantly be a part of my life, but my current meds/oxygen has made daily life significantly better.
