Talkig, getting excited, or anything where your blood pumps faster makes it worse which included a rather personal side of my relationship with my husband lol if you get my meaning; that was a killer. I am glad to say that all that has gone since surgery on the areas that are going well. My worst area was my right side and it is pain free now woohoo! I know the middle back of my head is still affected because if I get upset and my blood pumps faster it hurts only there. I was really interested to see what Dr. Ducic said toward the end of his lecture about how he found that people who have had the surgery and still get migraines because On and migraines have an area in common as described on his slide and that a migraine med helped post surgery where it didn't help before. I am going to try it next time my head is bad. I am not a medical professional. I sufferered Occipital Neuralgia and had right and left occipital nerve release surgery in 2010.
Before surgery I would throw up almost daily from the severe dizziness and had severe light and sound sensitivity. I stayed in bed, curled up in the fetal position wishing I had the courage to kill myself. If I didn't take a cocktail of antiseizure, opiates and muscle relaxers I suffered hundreds of electric shock type pains per day in my head and had a constant migraine type pain 24/7 from july 2008. I lay grieving for my life that once was the friends who once were and the void in my future.
Right surgery 100% relief; left surgery, scarring grabbed a crown nerve and I had surgery again to relieve that june 2011. Surgery really helped but was left with daily migraines triggered by certain sound pitches making living in this noisy world very difficult |
