Hi again!

I just looked into occipital neuralgia. There is a treatment for it, called spinal cord stimulation, which blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain. Has your doctor ever brought it up? I will bring it up with my neurologist next month, as it seems it could possibly be used for migraines that have resisted every treatment in the book! And my hopes are up again! Maybe, this time. Thank you so much for reaching out and I hope something comes of it for both of us
Francine
