I don't know if this worked or if my episode ended but here goes. Saturday night was awful, I actually prayed for death. 10's coming every 45 minutes for twelve hours straight. My boyfriend was at wits end Sunday AM and poured me into the car. A friend of his was getting a massage and wanted the massuese to work on me. She worked on my neck for about 45 minutes, moving around some type of knots...popping and cracking stuff. I felt lightheaded and battered when she was done but no better. Then, gradually throughout the day, I noticed the cord in my neck was loosening. Last night I slept like the dead for six straight hours and woke up pain free.
It cost me thirty dollars and felt very indulgent but I look at it this way...between missing work and meds I've tried...I've spent WAY more than that and have had no relief.
