Mokey, I don't trust the injections, I have done three sessions, basically numbs my whole head for a while which helps some what...I think the gabapentin is the only think is keeping my headaches at 5 or 6 and not a full blown 10+...this is hell Mokey.

That was three weeks ago and I have been almost headache free since then. I should add that those are the headaches that really come from the back of the head known as the occipital region. So mine are known as occipital nerve blocks. My doctor today told me they work on 90% of the people. He wants to do another one next week to ensure I have a smooth transition and more headache free days.
What has been your experience?
