Hi @kitty70 -- I can't solve your issue, but I can tell you I had occipital neuralgia for two years non-stop about 15 years ago. It was intense. I went to see a neurologist because I was beginning to think I had a brain tumor. He told me it was occipital neuralgia and that that typically stems from neck issues. I did have some neck issues so it made sense. The only good news I can share with you is it suddenly went away at some point. It was so long ago and I've had so many disorders that I don't remember any specifics about what I may have done differently. Every now and then I have a brief flare up for a day or two, but that is rare even though I still have neck issues. I hope yours goes away too!!! There is hope!
