DH suffers from Cluster Headaches which normally means he has a couple of 3-4 week seasons a year when he has a series of 2-6 episodes of severe headache a day. It is different to migraine in many aspects, but the pain is also excruciating even if the episodes last around half an hour.
GP has told him that it is important to increase the levels of oxygen in his body during the attack and that she will prescribe a tank of oxygen for him to have with him, but in the mean time, she has advised him to do some exercise during the attack to get more oxygen. So... for the third night in a row DH has just gone for a run in the middle of the night, it seems to be working but I guess it would be kinder on him to get the tank ASAP.... but, doctor rang last Friday to ask him to ring her about the tank in 2 weeks time, probably by them the CH would be gone until next season so.... the question is, how do we get an oxygen tank? I'm getting fed up of the midnight runs and seeing him hitting his head against the wall just because of red tape. Any suggestions?
