Hi D & R,
I've been into O2 since the mid 80's and it ALMOST always aborts the beast. The secret is to get on it fast and do it right. Cost should be somewhere around $100.00 to $150.00 for the initial setup and $15.00 to $30.00 to exchange an E tank. Be sure to get a non-rebreather mask, the nasal canula do not deliver 100% O2; 50% at best. The prices for a non-rebreather mask from the links that Bob G posted are way high. My last non-rebreather was $10.00. You can check your local yellow pages for more accurate info. Look under respiratory care or medical supplies. I've also come up with a "cool O2" rig that seemed to help during the last cycle. You can find this (and lots more) at the headachesupportgroups.com web site. Best of luck.
