Oxygen Therapy

[WendyWoo50]

Has anyone tried Oxygen Therapy for their headaches? Did it help? When your APS is active and your INR is low are your SATs low?

I've heard that oxygen therapy helps with cluster headaches but I dont know in relationship with APS, so will be interested in your replies.

Great question..

Hi, I have two friends that use it, and find it useful, but although they have dire migraines, one with cluster headaches, neither have a diagnosis for Hughes Syndrome/APS. I would be terribly interested to know it if helped anybody, seeing as 'the impaired oxygenation gets mentioned in this paper, with the sludge blood etc: the-rheumatologist.org/arti...

Following with interest. I think it’s a very important question.

It’s been discussed in our family for a couple of years, in fact.

Hi Kelly, how are you doing?

I expected to hear from lots of people who have tried it but as yet I’ve not heard from anyone. 😢

Does anyone have low oxygen saturation when their INR is low?

[KellyInTexas Administrator in reply to WendyWoo50]

Mine is chronically low- only by blood draw, never by finger monitor.

I’ve never had a blood draw where it did not flag low.

But this happens even when INR is in range...
