I know the feeling; I was... well, more than 15/month—that's the cutoff/definition of "chronic" with regard to headaches. Mine (most of them anyway) were due to something called "CTTH/migraine complex—sudden onset" which is caused by a reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus. After several years (and countless treatment ordeals) they began to diminish on their own, which is known to happen with that syndrome. I'm down to 1-2/week, and that's better than what it was. Maxalt has been my godsend.
