Yes that is what I am referring to. I had an occ block last week (first time) but it didn't help me at all and now my head is sore at the injection site. I read that a patient's response to an occ block is not necessarily linked to success or failure to the stimulator.

I have tried and failed so many preventative drugs over more than ten years and suffered some pretty unpleasant side effects.

I would love to be able to have a pre implant trial but I can't figure out how to accomplish that.

For now, I am trying Botox and Namenda but I only had the Botox once and I am still at a low dose of the Namenda. the good news is that there are no adverse side effects, a major hurdle.
