nerve block
Jan 4^th, 2009 at 12:34am

as some of you know i went chronic last feb and i finally found some major relief at the KU med center in KC. my doctor is headache only and she knows her stuff.

well she suggested i cease most my many meds and try the ocipital nerve block.

well i did and i still have headaches but the duration and frequency along with the pain level reduced from 8's and 9;s to 3's and 4's. enough to feel like ive received some of my life back.

so its gonna be o2 and the nerve block every few months and i might start enjoying life again.

thanks to all the suggestions so far !!

happy new year!!

I'm so glad to hear that you're getting relief from this. I'm looking in to getting one done myself. This gives me some more hope, again...
Back to top	As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?

Hi Schaan

Just got home and seen your post, I have an extensive experience using ONB (Occipital nerve blocked) I have been given ONB (Occipital Nerve Block) using an injecting of 2.5 ml mixture containing a long acting salt of betamethasone (dipropionate) a rapid acting salt of betamethasone mixed with xylocaine (Verumgroup) using only ½ the dose and Lidocaine to “flush” the rest of the salt. the treatment had a positive effect and I would have gotten about 120 days PF / year, unfortunately I have developed extreme reaction to the betamethasone, but that was, as I am very sensitive to the betamethasone.

Do ask your treating Dr’s to have close endocrinological close monitoring, to avoid any risks and adverse effects......

I did post quiet extensively on this board, and on the old board, Links:
