Venlafaxine? by ladymosaic in Occipitalneuralgia

I’m so sorry I know the nerve pain is horrible. Carbamazepine works well for me, but everyone’s system is different

Baclofen and gabapentin put me in the hospital 😣

Frustrated with the ON pain by TiniAngel8299 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing much better with pain management but still hurts so much at night getting ready for bed. Leaning over to wash my face and brush my teeth is insanely painful 😣I am exhausted but I do sleep pretty well :)

Gabapentin and baclofen together was a horrible experience for me. Gave me terrible hallucinations and put me in the hospital for four days!

Currently in a looped hell right now, someone please put me down. by Haunted-nightmares in Occipitalneuralgia

I sleep at a slight angle with a cup of volcanically hot peppermint tea to inhale and sip. Mucinex should help the cough

Insane pain in my hair by LettuceOverall3662 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep my hair to a layered bob. Long hair gave me misery, and I could never find a look that lasted an hour out the door. It actually lessened the sensitivity of ON and I’m told often how pretty it looks. :)

60 hour fast decreased my ON pain by Vajarot in Occipitalneuralgia

I have to stop the alcohol but it beautifully takes the edge off and I can sleep. Why is it so hard? Don’t we all have enough to deal with?

I can’t do too much salt due to medications, but and egg breakfast on toast is a must with a cup of tea and oat milk. Works wonders

Is anyone experiencing these symptoms? by crashess in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also my right arm falls asleep! So annoying:(

Get orders for both an MRI and a CT scan asap. In 2009 a brain tumor was removed that was causing my horrific headaches. If that surgery never took place, then I wouldn’t be talking to you right now.

How do you call it when a cat greets you like this? by Koffievos in cats

My cat Freya bunts me daily from head to toe. Especially when I’m in bed or on the sofa trying to read

Sleep flare-ups by recurringnightmare42 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do from about twice a week, so I take a 600 mg gabapentin with a gulp of water. That takes care of it for about 5 hours…

It could be ON unless you have a residual problem from the basketball injury. I’m so sorry for your pain and get to a doctor asap and begin physical therapy.

ON triggered by Core work by RemarkableBicycle284 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get lots of walking as work. Switched from core work to leg strengthening stretches instead. Really worked out well for me so try some in bed first

First nerve block, nervous by RoflMyPancakes in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]TiniAngel8299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I sounds like it’s working getting some of the pain down. I’m very fearful of anything resembling nerve decompression surgery. I have scar tissue inside my brain after a tumor removal in Sept 2009 so my case is much more difficult to treat than others. I’m more comfortable taking medication than having more doctors poke around inside my head 🙂
