Re: Occipital Headaches

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

First off, welcome to the group! It's nice to meet you! :-)

I have Occipital Neuropathy, or occipital headaches. Mine are debilitating and

on both sides. I used to get the occipital nerve blocks but can no longer

afford them. The only thing that has helped them is dilaudid. I also tried

chiropractic care. Depending on where the chiropractor pops the joint is where

I had the little bit of relief, usually in the absolute upper most part of the

spinal cord. I no longer can afford either of those treatments, only the

dilaudid unfortunately. Every doctor I have seen for this type of headache told

me that what I have done is all the treatment there is for them, and I have seen

doctors in several states, but let me know what your Neurologist says because if

there is another treatment, I would be elated to know lol! :-)

Love,

Becky in NM
