Hi there!!!! I was diagnosed with O.N. a year ago. Neurontin did not help with my O.N. These are the only things that help me: I can not sleep on my back with the back of my head laying on anything, I have to sleep on my stomach or on my side and without a pillow. I can not wear hats, or heavy jackets. I can not have anything heavy resting on the base of my skull/neck area. I noticed that when I go for walks in the evening, my head pain is less. It must destress the muscles in my occipital area. I also use ice packs on the base of my skull for about 10 minutes and totally numb up that area. I also get the tingling feelings alot. It's kind of like electrical zaps zapping around my head. I'm really sorry you have this. I would never wish this pain upon anyone. I will pray for you and your pain. Good luck.
