As it is he finally agrees the MS could be the cause, yet at same time wants to send me for this Occipital nerve injection to treat occipital neuralgia, is this the ON's I always hear about? or is this something diff? confused is an understatement,
Each time I get these nasty headaches I also have an MS relapse, so this is what bothers me why stick and poke me if its the MS, even in my cog fog thats a no brainer, or has anyone else gone through the same thing I am going through, and can relate or can shed some light on this for me
It seems to me he is covering both exits just incase, and I'll be honest the thought of this injection does not put a smile on my face, I have had 4 LP and thats pretty much what this amounts to, but in the back of the head, and the steroids have actually helped eased the headaches somewhat this relapse, so I am going to hold off unless it worsens but I would appreciate any info anyone has
again thank you

Hi Frank sorry to hear of your problems. I have O.N due to a car accident I was in 13 years ago, when I was 18, and have had many, many injections. Should the steroids stop working for you please don't be afraid to get the injections because they are not painful, just a tinly needle and a little picnh then it burns a few moments while the medicine goes in but that's it, certainly woth going through toget rid of the head aches. Best of luck with everything!!!!
