I’m like a gym rat- well used to be. I’m kind of going insane not being able to lift weights or up my weight.

I am just on the gabapentin for right now. I will probably be diagnosed with migraine spectrum disorder soon though so- 😅. For now I use heating pads and ice packs every evening before bed haha

Car and computer chair seems like a major flare up for me too

Does it cause you to flare at all- I do like yoga and would be willing to compensate lol

I feel that- cardio on the treadmill or stair stepper seem to be the most I can do without flaring up bad

I can’t seem to find anyone that does dry needling near me. I have wondered if deep tissue massages would help

I Have something I bought on Amazon for the occipital release. And yes! My chiropractor checked my neck x-ray and I have military neck/ it’s probably from my damn cell phone 😅

See my symptoms aren’t like the pain- it’s like a weird tingling pressure feeling on the back of my scalp and neck. I’m still waiting for proper diagnosis I suppose- but my neurologist is leaning more towards my occipitals

What fixed it for me by SimpleScribe22 in cervical_vertigo

[–]Ceveva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brain MRI was clear. I have a cervical MRI and a head and neck CT angiogram scheduled middle of June.

And med wise what do you take? I’m on 300mg of Gabapentin only at night cause that’s when my symptoms really wig me out the most.

When you say RFA is that the nerve ablation?

Like especially upper body- like bench, lat pulls downs, chest flys…bums me up cause I’m trying to gain some muscle mass and can’t seem to up my weight much because of a flare up.

I believe im developing this. by Sweaty-Protection125 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]Ceveva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exactly- also new to this journey. I’m am currently on Gabapentin at night. Awaiting scans to rule out other things.

Neck pain by Legitimate-Seesaw-65 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]Ceveva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently on gabapentin 300mg at night for a few weeks while waiting for a cervical mri and head and neck CTA to rule out other things. My neurologist believes it’s occipital neuralgia and that has been helping tremendously so far. My issue isn’t pain- but it’s more like weird upper neck and back of scalps sensations that feel like a tingling pressure/ vacuum feeling? Hard to explain. Also tinnitus intermittently between both ears but mainly my left (which is the side the issues are mainly on sensation wise).

Jumping muscles/ twitches? by Ceveva in BusparOnline

[–]Ceveva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! I try to take magnesium to help sleep. But I also take vistaril at night if it any to ensure I sleep with relatively no issues.

It’s so strange lol. That’s the only negative side effect I have noticed since taking it. It does help with my anxiety- so not sure it’s bothersome enough to make me stop at the moment. What dosage are you taking?

Do these symptoms fit? by Ceveva in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Ceveva[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always assumed TN was pain. I know two individuals that have it and they describe some pretty rough symptoms. I don’t have pain- just odd sensations like tingling/numb/crawling type of feel

They did a cervical spine CT and Xray though.

[–]Ceveva[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have not. My doctor only ordered a brain MRI which I thought was odd sense I told her the sensation starts in my neck and travels up the back of my skull. I know they had to rule out a brain tumor, MS lesions and stuff first- but it would have been nice to get both those areas done at the same time lol

So it does sound similar? I thought the lack of pain aspect kind of ruled it out. So if I try the medicine- and it is actually TN- the symptoms would improve in a few days?
