In my case it was headaches, though I'm hesitant to use say 'just headaches' -- they're debilitating.

Thanks Doc..... so, are you still having chronic headaches/migraines??
Mine are not as frequent as they once were. Intensity can vary, depending on the type (cervicogenic or migraine), whether I guess correctly (they can fool me, or be both at the same time) and how soon triggering can be stopped and intervention takes place. PT played a part, as did time.

The worst part of the whole deal is the insurance companies dictating, in effect, how many headaches a patient is allowed to have per month by strictly limiting the number of prescribed pills. (We're not talking about controlled substances here - just triptans. )

There is hope, but I think chances are increased with headache/migraine specialists.
