Oh my gosh. I’m am so sorry to hear about your pain and frustration.
I too have Occipital Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy.
Until I realized what caused the ON I had awful symptoms including temporary loss of vision in one eye.
For me, the cause was a new bed pillow. It was too high and caused my neck and skull to be misaligned.
That was the only reason I was in pain.
I bought a cervical pillow on Amazon and started to feel better. I also went for physical therapy. They showed me how to stretch and loosen my neck muscles. Everything was quite easy to do and it made me feel better.
That was almost a year ago. I still have times when I have a bit of pain, but if I do some of the exercises and it helps.

The only medications I take for all of this is the Tylenol, and Zoloft. I can’t tolerate painkillers, Lyrica made me way off balance, and sleepy.

I take a host of other medications for other problems but that’s another story!

Blessings on you both as you continue your journey.
