You may have missed your night at the Holiday Inn, but you surely helped me. Nothing I take seems to take away the pain and I just couldn't figure it out. I did have chips last night with lots of salt on them. We don't use salt at the house, so it was about a month's worth to me. It goes from my shoulder to my elbow and across the top of my right chest (clavical area) and up my neck. The worst is probably across the back of my head. It was better yesterday until I ate those chips. I do so appreciate your feedback. I'm exhausted from the non stop pain. Did you take anything for that? ma
