I had the nerve block yesterday. He did the major nerve only, as that nerve was the only one that was sensitive to the touch. Today, I don't have a headache, and I've begun reducing my Topamax. There is a bit of pain where he did the shot, but that's nothing compared to the HA.

I'm hoping it works. I'll keep you updated, as I reduce the Topo, what happens.

Good luck,  This never worked for me and I had several.  I also had Botox and that did not work either.  keep us updated.

I have heard this has helped many, I'm trying it next cycle most likely. So yes please keep us updated. I think allot of the success of this depends on how skilled the doctor is.

Hey, the pain in the injection site goes fast, given the date i'm sure you know it. The nerve block is great. Mine only worked for 10 days. But boy, what a wonderful 10 days. I got my first bad headache in the library at school, I couldn't do a thing about it. But it worked beautifully for a while.

It seems to have worked so far. I'm down to 200mg Topo and no headache. I've had very few breakthrough headaches. Let's see how long it lasts. If it lasts, I'm hoping for a more permanent solution.
