@rnlorena I do hope this takes care of your issue at least for time being. They way it looks to
me if a person does suffer from ON it will be an ongoing treatment. I have four more days
before I see the Pain Dr. sometimes they say see your primary. I sometimes get overwhemed.
Lets keep in touch.

@suszy39 I had a nerve block and it has made a difference. The purpose of the nerve block is to see if the occipital nerves are the culprit. So having the nerve block I shouldn’t have any issues in my head for now. They will sometimes do up to two or three before they would do an ablation of the occipital nerves. They want to be definitely sure before they do an ablation. When January 17th hits it will be 11 months since I had head pressure and blurry vision and also had seen Doctors and gotten nowhere. Now I finally feel like I am getting somewhere. I will see my Dr. on February 10th and when I find out what is next I will let you know. The nerve block was so easy. I can tell you I had head pressure for many days and it sucks. The ablation would burn the occipital nerves and eventually of course they will regenerate. That could be possibly 6-12 months or more. Everyone might be different. But ablation can be done again. I will keep in touch for sure. It may be a bit but I will let you know. @rnlorena
