HI Jane,
I use the patches for my TN as well as ON. I cut them in small strips and place them on the most severe pain. For the ON, yes I need to place it in with all the hair I have found if I cut them small enough, they work well and stay on the scalp. I also put a larger one at the base of the skull, it seems to help. Best of luck!! Nikki

Well, I've just had my latest nerve block. I had it done on Wednesday by my neuro. It's just starting to work now, just on 2 days later.
I can feel my pain level dropping and my mood lifting already! lol ~Jaime~

If you go to youtube and search ON, there is a 2 part vidoe of a guy with ON getting an ONS. It's interesting how well he did.

I'm glad to hear about someone who has had the stimulator inserted. I was diagnosed almost a year ago with ON and have been getting the injections every 2 months (or sooner depending on the pain). Because of this, the doc informed me of the option of the stimulator because he doesn't feel comfortable doing the injections so frequently. I really just want the pain to be gone. It hurts to lay down, drive, dance, or pretty much do most things, depending on how bad the pain is that day. I was wondering...do you notice the stimulator on a daily basis? Can you feel it or is it something that is very subtle?
thanks! and btw, I'm new to the board. So glad to have found you all! -Ash |
