It was the biggest surprise in the world to me that, for me, it did work. I should add it took about a week before I began seeing good results. Good luck and God bless. lance

I had it done yesterday. I know it takes a couple days to get going, but I have noticed that my headaches are quite a bit less severe today. I'm normally bashing my head senseless with a steel water bottle at this time. Currently I'm typing calmly and drinking water out of the water bottle!

I hope it helps you, but a word of warning. The pain of the injection is no big deal, but at least to me, it felt reaallllly strange having a needle poke into one of the primary cranial nerves.

Hey Mike, I really hope it helps you. I have tried several ways to control my chronic CH. I've had Greater and Lesser Occipital Nerves blocked and it provided only enough relief while the bupivicaine was working. I've also had the sphenopalatine ganglion block done and it provide migraine relief but did little for my CH attacks.
