Occipital Nerve Stimulator

Well, it's come to the point where my neuro wants me to look into this. I've failed just about every preventive and abortive known to man. I don't have any idea if my insurance would cover this, but I guess it is worth looking into. Do any of you know where I can find more information about the ONSI? Thanks!!

Sorry to hear you aren't doing well either, Tia. I had the nerve block done again today. Last time, I got 2 days relief out of it. Today, no CH yet but my constant headache is still at a 9. I couldn't go to any classes today. This shit is getting bad......
Hugz,
Carrie

You could post on the Visitors section of the Support Board at OUCH UK. One of the moderators there has had the ONSI and also knows about the progress of most of the others who have had it done in the UK by Goadsby's team.
Alternatively, message me your email and I will ask him to email you for a chat.

That would be a good balanced view. Talk to one person who has now had success with the ONSI (Mike's ONSI is working well now), and one who hasn't. At least you can get the whole picture then
