My doc is talking about doing a nerve block in treating my clusters. Has anyone else had this done? Need some info before he calls tomorrow to set time. Real nerves never been a big fan on any meds!

I had an Occipital Nerve Block a couple years ago. Did nothing for me. Others have had varying degrees of results.
Definitely worth a shot.

I've had the Occipital Nerve block also... more than once over the years. The last time it may have helped but I also was at the end of a 2 week stay in the hospital on DHE...... not sure if it was the block the IV or just coincidence that the beast finally decided to give me a break....
It's not really painful to get it done...it's very quick and it will make you have numbness up the back of your head for a little while.......worth the "shot"

I have had this done four or five times. Sometimes it will prevent a CH for up to 8 hours. It makes you walk funny. It is worth a try, but don't look for a miracle cure.

I have had 2. They worked for 3 or 4 days and 6 days. They are relatively simple and easy. I hate needles but I have also had shots into my back for pain in the past so this was much easier.
For me it was a little alcohol on the site (or whatever to sterilize). He then pushed to find the spot and injected. Stung for a few seconds.
Then came some numbness in my head and I drove home right away.
They are rather safe and not too much pain. Worth a shot in my book.

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you. No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do
