Hi, this is my first topic. My name is Matthew and I'm suffering from my first bout of cluster headache currently. I'm 35 years old and very healthy and fit otherwise. Needless to say, this condition has brought me to my knees. My question is this: How do you get access to O2 for pain relief? My neurologist who diagnosed me suggested various treatments, gave me a script for Maxalt tabs. He also suggested oxygen but gave no script for it.
I saw my gp last week, he changed to to Replex tablets. When I asked about O2 he said I would need to access that through hospital emergency. I know that can't be right. I'm a single dad with no local family- I can't drive down to emergency at 2am in the middle of an attack. Frustrated...
