@suszy39 Great! Glad to hear! I go Tuesday and I need to find out what is next for me. It may well be another nerve block and I understand they want to be sure before they ablate your nerves. I need to get my head together again. When I go to the Doctor I usually write notes so I don't forget anything. They use a very small ultrasound to find the nerves before they do the block. The nerve block was easy. Less than 5 minutes. They won't do it on Tuesday they will schedule it if that's what they want to do next. If they decide on the ablation I will be happy as a clam. I was talking with my brother today and we were discussing me. I reminded him of 2021 when two days after I decided to retired I woke up and had full onset of pinpricks or as they call it paresthesia. The pinpricks were going off constantly and it was totally weird. 3 months later I went to a Neurologist and they finally did a skin biopsy and said I had Small Nerve Fiber Neuropathy. I had two Covid shots 3 weeks apart in January and I am pretty sure that is the cause. No one in my family has ever had anything like it. Now this head pressure. I am not a Doctor but I think there could be something in my neck causing this pressure. Maybe something is impinging on the nerves. I went to many Doctors after I had the original head pressure and blurry vision. A lot of them said its your blood pressure. NOPE! I have a cardiologist that I have been seeing for a long time and she said NOPE! I know it isn't my blood pressure. Getting the head pressure affects my blood pressure. I swear I don't know where Doctors heads really are nowadays. The medical field has gone down in my opinion. Please let me know how the Nerve Block goes. @rnlorena
