Aren’t migraines episodic? And accompanied by nausea and halos? I don’t have that. I have constant pain 24 hrs, continuously. MDs called it migraine even without the migraine symptoms. Thanks for your info. Interesting. And you never had the headache again? I’ve had lidocaine injections and Botox injections without any results. I’m about to try CBD to get off OTC pain meds.

I’m going to make a note of what you had and see if anyone I know in the medical field would try it.

@jan33. I was in pain 24x7, throwing up regularly, nauseous all the time, saw “lightning” out of the corner of my left eye and then it moved into my neck, back. And even upper arms. I tried a couple PCP’s who diagnosed me with a migraine which is odd since this was my first one at 57 hrs old. I had to wait months to see a neurologist and she diagnosed me with occipital neuralgia. None of the migraine meds worked, and I’d been in bed most of the 3 months because of my head spinning and balance issues. I don’t expect the PRP to last forever but luckily I found a new PCP who is taking this seriously and has scheduled me for the earliest occipital nerve block possible at the end of September. I have to use a tennis ball every day to gently roll out tightness in my neck and upper shoulders or I can feel the start of a severe headache starting again. Sometimes several times a day. My myofascial practitioner also helps keep my fascia as loose as she can. The neurologist told me this may be lifelong. I really hope not. Oh I forgot. I was prescribed muscle relaxers to help but those knock me out.
