@suszy39 Thank you Suzy, I appreciate your input very much. I am afraid of Botox and side effects from some of the other medications indicated for this condition as I usually get them from most of the medications I take. I have been studying ON as per your suggestion and I think the blocks and massage sound like they would be acceptable. I have a cervical fusion and arthritis in the area as well. Hell getting older.. Anyway thank you!

@sherminator I have having Botox every three mounts for about a year. They do help & I have had no side affects. They do help my headaches but it wears off after about two months. The neurologist that gives me the 31 shots is very good. She teaches others to do it properly. If you live in Illinois I highly recommend you make an appointment. She is in the Schaumburg area. Her name is Dr. Anderson a Neurologist. Good luck Bernie

@sherminator Yes that clinical massage is amazing as far as I am concerned. If it works I
will continue monthly. Also doing more exercise strenth my neck, head, lower back.
We are dealing with something we must learn to live with. My Sis called me from Alaska and
asked "when did we get old" it just came up behind us.
