After a head injury 9 neurologists and forty years of facial pain, having five teeth pulled, six root canals with dentists using grinding wheels to even my bite and at least three suggestions of craziness along with constant pain shaming and so many mis diagnosis of facial pain. I had five hours of surgery to fix the torn meniscus, grafting collagen to replace the missing discs and clearing away the fiber and bone that had attached my jaw to my skull all in both sides of my head I was diagnosed with a broken jaw in the original accident causing irritation and injury to both Trigeminal and occipital nerves. All those years. I gave them textbook symptoms but no one recognized either neuralgia. Now the covid vaccines have irritated it even more. My whole life in pan because no neurologist listened. The still don’t. And if any of them read this they’d still pain shame me. If all else fails try a physical therapist. They’re really the best diagnosticians because they ask questions, spend time with you and listen. And if they’re good they’ll find a good dr for you.

Oh my goodness! You have been through enough for a lifetime and more.

I have occipital neuralgia. It is the result of my buying a new pillow.
It was identified because I lost vision in one eye temporarily 3 times.
I also had scalp pain, face pain and numbness.
I went for physical therapy which helped.
