Sorry to confuse - the pain description is always the same. When I have an attack the pain is constant. The "episodes" are what I refer to the attacks. My pain is not on a daily basis. I sometimes go for 2 -3 months without pain, then suddenly for no apparent reason I'm hit with it again. Each episode lasts 4 - 8 hrs. and sometimes repeats itself several days in a row.

I hope this makes sense. Feel free to ask if you want to know more.

Hope you get relief soon.
