Literally a pain in the neck

Posted on Sep 23rd, 2008 by Lynn : nature lover Lynn
I have been suffering from an occipital neuralgia which is caused by inflammation of the occipital nerves stemming upward towards the brain from the neck.  I had to have four nerve blocks into the nape of my neck and have been heavily medicated for about 2 weeks.  Might have to finally see neurologist since migraines are getting worse as well.  I was wondering if anyone has ever tried acupuncture to alleviate stress and pain.  I am desperate!!!  Can't afford anymore ER visits that yield absolutely no relief.  I have tried to meditate, but it is really hard to do with a debilitating pain in my head constantly.  I am on so much medication, I don't know if I am coming or going.  Muscle relaxers, migraine meds, valium, narcotic pain relievers, nerve blocks........ When will it ever stop?  Just needing some healing vibes and a shouler to cry on.  Thanks for listening.

Driving along a scenic route filed with gorgeous colored trees, eating pumpkin pie, apple picking, burning pumpkin spice candles, playing in the leave piles, walking in the cool morning air with my labs, planting mums, baking apple pies for bake sales, and anticipating thanksgiving feast with beloved family members.  I love the fall.
