About 8 years ago, I was rear-ended while stopped at a redlight by a guy driving a 1 ton Chevy. I was in a 1/2 ton Dodge & the wreck would've totalled my truck if it weren't so new (crumpled the bed, busted the back glass, etc)... I've had back & neck pain since. They wanted to fuse two vertebrae to cure the pain/headaches - I wasn't keen on back surgery so I told them I was all better, collected a small settlement, and have been living with headaches everyday for the past 8 years.

Cigars are the cure! I tried all sorts of things to stop 'em - working out & doing stretches (this book is great) helped the most, but I get lazy & quit when the pain goes away for awhile. I don't know if it's the relaxation, or the magical smoke, but I've not had this type of headache since I started smoking cigars & when I do start to get one, a cigar makes it go away... just another way to justify my purchases I guess.
