It happened after the trauma to the head from the impact. It's a bit better but gets awful after sickness or stress. I haven't been stressed lately due to the antidepressants, so I am pretty much content with how it is. It's not terrible yet its not really great, either.
Fixing my posture had helped plus the tricks they taught me at physical therapy. If I am under a Occipital Neuralgia attack, then heat therapy, a pain reliever and rest usually suffice. Otherwise, it hurts till I sleep. It's my body sign of "you are doing too much and you need to stop."
I try to have my stress under control and organize, as well as ask for help if I need it. B-12 and Fish Oil has also helped repair the nerves that were damaged from the impact, as recommended by my neuro as well as Mark's Vitamin Thread.
Ever since then I started the regimen plus an antidepressant, I felt tons of improvement and was cleared for recovery. I went back to school again. I am somewhat me again and I am glad for that. It's just absolutely terrible when I get sick so I try to keep healthy and get in my nutrients.
