Not sure what caused it and I tried every drug known to man to stop it. I think it was a combination of muscle relaxers, narcotics , antiacids and steroids that finally gave me some releif. It was really wierd too - it would actually stop when I would eat - then pick up where it left off when I was done. It went on for weeks. I couldn't get any real rest or sleep - even with sleeping meds. It was hell...
The good news is I don't have them now.
