I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm episodic myself. I meant for the post to be for everyone. And the reason I said "especially chronic/severe," is because they have to deal with it more on a daily basis, and are in more need of relief from suffering.
I didn't say I just wanted input from the chronic, I want input from everyone. But in posts, since you're limited to several words, I was just trying to get more attention drawn to it.
But yes, I do think people who are chronic should be a priority. They deal with it daily, pretty much year around.
Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, I didn't mean it that way, and no, I'm not chronic, therefore, I'm not putting myself first either. I'm just trying to help people in the most effective way I know how.
Sorry again.

As a eposidic sufferer, who is going on 4 months this cycle I give major KUDOS to anyone who has to deal with pain on a daily basis.  This is a new learning experience for me that I really DID NOT want to learn, but am learning along the way.  I'm sure many of us feel the same way Steve does, and that is why we are here.  

To those that have helped me on here, THANK YOU.  I could not make it trough the tough days without you're input.  Each of us suffer differently and use different treatments to get through, but since you have been dealing with it so much and so much longer you have much more insight for those of us who are lost and need help.
