I have just been diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia. I am on Neurontin 200 mg 3 x per day. I can't get in with the neurologist until October 9th.... anything anyone can tell me about ON I would appreciate... I have had a CT scan, but will I also need an MRI for a definitive diagnosis? Should I be keeping a journal of my pain to take to the neuro? Thanks for any info you can give me.
