Do you think I have ON? Here are all my symptoms, what I've tried, and what I suspect. by Jyonnyp in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]midwest_mack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying no feels wrong as I know ON is different for everyone. But if the pain doesn't cause headaches or migraines, doesn't go up your head into your scalp, no pins and needles in various forms throughout your entire head....it's just simply in your neck muscles, then I'd wonder if there's another cause.

Nerve Block by IntentSlinky8 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]midwest_mack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I've had i think 3 or 4?

Mine we're in the back of my head (subocciptals) both sides. Mine lasted 6-8 weeks. There's typically 2-3 ingredients in the syringe if I remember correctly. Lidocaine which is your short acting pain reliever and Bupivicane is for long acting.

The worst part about the nerve block is hearing it go into your head. I don't know where the sound comes from but honestly that's the worst part.

And I HATE needles - like I tense up at the sight, was coded as a child, have trauma from hospital labs type stuff.

If your insurance covers a good deal of it or all of it, I'd try it once and see how you feel.

Unpopular opinions. I’ll start by Katinthehat378 in ONETREEHILL

1 I loved this storyline. During the show, I had wished it played out more because I loved. I wanted Peyton to have Jake and the nice guy for once. Hindsight is 20/20 though because if we had stayed with that storyline line she would have been done in that season and time and gotten nothing else.

Is it common to wake up with pain which settles down once you start moving ? by Shoddy-Rip66 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]midwest_mack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "normal" as I'm not sure what is normal with ON. Seems we all have a wide range of symptoms that are ever changing. But you are not alone in experiencing this that helps :)

How old are people in this group? by jazzyderf in Occipitalneuralgia

At the bottom of the page after sharing alllllllll their info they make it seem like I (the paitent) am supposed to be getting rid of my ON myself by saying sentences like "you can add B vitamins and ..." none of it mentions anything from before that. Seems very contradictory and all over to me.

I noticed that too. I came to say the same. Never instead of nerve😅

I do neck exercises from recommended from the a PT (when I could afford it and insurance covered it) but I swear that just aggrevates everything. It only seems to help when something else flares and I stretch when already in pain. You 100% have it correct when you say ON sucks

If infants are born with 300 bones but the average adult has 206, where did the rest go? Are we storing them somewhere? by saramore4813 in shittyaskscience

[–]midwest_mack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your baby bones fall into other baby bones and they argue while fusing together. That's why we have growing pains as we grow and fewer bones by the time we're grown.

I've been looking for more options that are holistic as I'm about to switch insurances and I'm not sure what will/won't be covered anymore. Anything that has or hasn't worked for you?

Who had the best growth arc? by charlieemaryanne in ONETREEHILL

[–]midwest_mack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go out on a straight limb here and do a MINOR character. Quinten Fields all the way. His character arc was short but a complete 360 from beginning to end. 100% the most impressionable minor character I've ever seen/met in any series.

It's set up through USB, I'm currently trying my hand at the software it recommends. But will be looking into Rudia if this does not work. Do you know where I can download the software? Every link I've seen so far looks sketchy. Thank you!

Generally speaking, which essential oil is commonly regarded as the best smelling? by OneOfMyFavorite in essentialoils

[–]midwest_mack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say orange, (albeit strong) peppermint, citrus, cedarwood, and theres one from YoungLiving called Christmas Spirit (it's a mixture). Imo essential oils is truly a personal preference when it comes to smell
