>Nikki, I had really hoped they would have helped you find relief. I'm so very sorry - I don't know how I would cope. I can relate to having chronic pain - my migraines started before I was a toddler and I can't honestly remember an entire week without a headache - but at least with headaches, they can subside on their own for a while, as they cycle off and on.
