Anyone had an Occiptal Nerve Block for clusters?  Was it successful?  I have one scheduled for Thursday and thought I would be able to bypass it since last week I had two ha per night at about a kip 2-3, which I can handle.  Now, of course, as the nerve block day looms, they have returned -- and they are bad.

Any information would be appreciated.  It sounds scary!!   Thanks.

Thanks Dennis!  I cannot access the old message board, it says I need to log on, but I thought I was.  Maybe it is my lack of sleep -- am I missing something?

Wildhaus' message says he did not know how to link to the old message board so i could not find an actual link. I tried on the menu to the left but it will not let me in.   Thanks!

There appears to be something up with the old msg board.  I've had the same problem off and on.  I'll post DJ.

It helped me but did not last long enough.  Mostly, it was for my occipital neuralgia, and it did not help long enough for that either.  But if you are getting beaten up, any break is a good break.
