Tami,
first, you're not the one with the rep for looooong posts - i hold that dubious distinction. towit - fear not, troops - i shall be succinct.
for the CH:
try water. 8 ozs every 30 minutes for 2-3 days. live in the bathroom, but for many they become CH-free pee sprees.
try twisting/stretching/rolling/relaxing your neck and upper back. i think this is the source of the pain. (i had the same experience with a long drive - the very antithesis of relaxed muscles - gave me gigundo horrendous CH for 3 days).
for the husband:
try agreeing. CH is caused by something. let him try to find out what (any help is welcome). have him start his research here.
another guy wrote in saying his girlfriend forbade him from visiting her during a cycle. more difficult for husbands that boyfriends - but might make him more sympathetic (if i know my testosterone!).
try sex. as incredible as it sounds (and i can't imagine personally pulling it off) some say sex relieves CH. this may be Gods sick joke - something that helps is mostly impossible.
keeping these short to abort my longwinded rep ... :)
