Thanks for the responses!
I am one month out from the ablation on the right side of my head for occipital neuralgia. I still have physical soreness and stiffness from the procedure. I am predicting 2-3 more weeks for healing. My migraines have decreased around 60-65% overall. My headaches around 50% ish.
I would do the procedure over again to relieve the migraines. It could last 4 more months or forever. Time will tell.
Oh how I love ice for the migraines and headaches. I made my own ice packs as Mark suggested, but in like the area covered with the peas and the weight. With migraines I cover my head with a dish towel, peas, and a down pillow. The weight on my head gives me comfort.
Oddly, at the dentist (I have missed 2 1/2 years with all life's events and I've always been a faithful 6 monther!) I felt much calmer with the lead vest covering me for X-rays. Felt less calm when they removed it.
Peace,
Jace
