Aren't we all?

All the PN causes on that list have been ruled out by a passel of neuros, coupla podiatrists, and my spine guy (ortho).

The chronic headaches (fifteen or more per month for three consecutive months is the criterion for "chronic" with regard to headaches) were thought to be New Persistent Daily Headache, but were later found to be from Chronic Tension Type Headache/Migraine Complex - Sudden Onset stemming from reactivation of the Epstein Barr virus from having Mono as a teen. After several years of searching (and suffering), I found the neuro known as "The Headache Guy" here. He asked me 3 questions and had them pegged. While there is currently no treatment or cure for these conditions (just treating the headaches, and none of the prophylactics worked for me), fortunately they often lessen in frequency over time (i.e. years), which has happened to some extent; they're no longer chronic by definition, but frequent enough... Sometimes they're cervicogenic, sometimes migraine, and sometimes both (what I call "double-whammies") and sometimes they can fool you; you think they're one type and they're actually the other ("foolies"); foolies are the worst because each type is treated with different types of meds, and the meds are virtually useless against the other type.

Magnets don't work for me, and I've run the gammut of "alternative therapies". I use the ones that work for me, and fugetabout the ones that don't....

I'll keep investigating causes for the PN, but when the top PN guy at Strong cuts you loose, you need some pretty respectable citations/studies to get them to go further. Either that or I've got to find the unaffiliated "PN Guy" who has so far eluded me.
