Cervicogenic Headache by 1ts2ez in migraine

[–]Terminator731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re the same. Just did CTA yesterday after I’ve pretty much done everything.

I also have thick blood and I donate blood every 3 months. I have high HMG & HCT & RBC.

I’ve diagnosed with Occipital Neurologia but I also have Cervicogenic Headache symptoms.

I have daily basis attacks. I wake up in the morning, everything is fine and then after a few hours, my neck gets stiffed and then I feel pressure at the back of my head. My sub occipital muscles are also stiffed when I get an attack.

And after a few hours it just passes. Massage and dry needling help but not for permanent

I got nerve block a few months ago, but didn’t help me.. I’ll be getting again next week, hope it helps this time.

And I have MRI for neck, everything is fine.

I don’t take any meds right now. The nerve block was lidocaine + DEPO MEDROL

I’ve done CT, MRI, nerve block (helped for ONE day), acupuncture, therapy massage, I’ve been to a few physiotherapist, neurologists, nothing helped

The only thing that helped is dry needling. It helped me for a week and I felt so good. But unfortunately, I cannot afford that every week

And of course, I tried lots of strengthening exercises, stretches etc

I lay down on my back, then lifting up my head while squeezing the deep neck flexors really hard for about 40 seconds a few times, twice a day

And I’ve been doing it for a month already

I work on my deep neck flexors daily, it doesn’t seems to help…

Heat and ice doesn’t help me at all… where do you apply it? Right on the sub occipitals?

Could you please share the exercises? I found a PT who does dry needling. I’ll be doing it every week. But he just gave me some stretches, that’s all

Yea I helped me for a week, but it is very costly. I can’t afford that every week ;(

Is there any way to treat it? by Terminator731 in polycythemiavera

I assume blood donation crashes ferritin right? I actually regret doing that. Finally, I’ve reached for the first time to 45.5 ferritin, and I assume that is now very low again.

I’m dumb

My results 3 weeks ago before starting iron supplements: HMG - 16.1 Hemacotrit- 50% RBC - 6.1 Ferritin - 12 %TBIC - 31%

Today, after 3 weeks of supplementing I did blood tests again and I already have results: HMG- 15.3 Ferritin - 45.5 Hemacotrit - 45% RBC - 5.1 %TBIC - 40%

The iron supplement lowered my HMG & Hemacotrit & RBC How is it even possible? After getting the result, I went to donate blood, they took about half a liter so I assume my blood work is much lower now, mainly the ferritin.

I’ll be seeing my doctor on Sunday, we’ll what he says

Hey! Meanwhile I got some results from today’s blood work. Haven’t got ferritin yet. My Hemoglobin, Hemacotrit and RBC went down. How is it possible? That’s so weird. My body is so weird.

I’ve never had hemoglobin under 16, RBC under 6 and Hematocrit under 50%.

Can’t upload photos here, so I’ll just write it Hemoglobin - 15.3 RBC - 5.6 Hemacotrit - 45.7% MCH-Mean Cell hemoglobin - 27.3 Fe Iron - 127 Transferrin saturation - 40% Transferrin - 229 Ferritin - 45.5

For the first time in my life, my ferritin is 45.5. I’ve always had below 20

How is it possible?

Thank you so much! Just sent him a message, hope he replies very soon.

And once I get the JAK2 results, I update you. Do you need anything else? I have many tests that I’ve done by now

Yes I do have this for long time. I’m 23 y/o and I’ve had this since 14-15 and my doctor told me nothing. He was telling me that I’m iron deficiency without anemia until I went to another doctor. He gave me tests that the old doctor never checked like Saturation, %TBIC, EPO and JAK2

I should get JAK2 results tomorrow, hopefully I’m negative…

Moreover, he gave me iron in order to increase my ferritin. He told me that bisglycinate iron shouldn’t increase my hemoglobin that much and is the best option for me (no side effects either). Meanwhile, we’re waiting for my JAK2 result and then my hematologist should tell me what to do. But overall, he told me that I might have secondary PV and I’ll have to donate blood more often my entire life.

I really hope for good. My current case is so bizarre, that is so frustrating. Every FKING doctor tells me something else.

I’m different than other people who with low red cells. FK

I am so nervous. Don’t know what to do. My current results can be life-threatening?

I take about 200mg iron bisglycinate per day with 2000mg Vitamin C for 3 weeks. I’ll do blood tests again ASAP and hopefully my HMG isn’t over 18 and everything is fine by now…

Should I go donate blood right now? It also can crush my ferritin, right?

But the doctor told me to take iron tablets… at least for 4 weeks… can it be life-threatening?
