I never know when they will hit. Usually occurs at the most inconvienent time. But..what else is new. A side arm of the beast I guess.

if you find that caffeine helps, that is because caffeine stimulates that adrenal gland......and it is the adrenal gland (along with nervous system) that regulates body temperature. People with chronic pain, usually also suffer from an exhausted adrenal gland; just to add to our list of symptoms and problems
