Anyone else having this burning and swelling? What are you doing for the pain? Is there another treatment that has worked for any of you?
The swelling sounds like you have a small leak,I recommend you get a MRI with Gadolinium, I had a bad leak and the symptoms were, I was very sleepy,groggy, always tired and slept 12-14 hrs a day until eventually I had a Grand mall from it then I had a shunt put in, but sorry I can't help with the insurance, and yes you are right about the Occipital Neuralgia.
