I am here to educate people about a very real, very serious illness...Occipital Neuralgia
Suffers of Occipital Neuralgia do not look sick on the outside, that you are right. However, you cannot explain to someone what if feels like, to have this condition, when the one who does not suffer from ON has absolutely no clue, what it is like to feel sick or be in constant pain, on a day to day basis, on the inside, while you look like there is nothing wrong on the outside.
I was diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia and secondary Trigeminal Nerve Pain in March of 2007, and my life has been an ongoing battle since then. I have dealt with multiple steroid shots into the skull, epidural nerve blocks straight into my spine, CT guided C2 nerve blocks, a C2 decompression, and the list goes on. I am telling this to all of you, so that you know without a doubt, that if anyone can understand what you are going through…I can!
I am in my first year of a Liberal Degree for Pre-Med at CCV, in Montpelier Vermont, with plans on transferring to University of Vermont in a couple of semesters, for their Bachelor in Science degree program, for Neuroscience and Research. I have high hopes of bringing about a cure for this condition, or at least a better treatment for suffers, such as myself, I want to donate my life, to help make yours better, by doing this, not only will I better your life, but mine as well.
If you cannot find the information you are looking for within my site, please leave me a comment, or send me an email, in regards to what you are looking for, and if I have not covered that topic yet, I will do so for you, all you have to do is ask.
I want to give hope to people when they feel all hope is lost, to let people know that they are not alone, I have been there, and can be of help…that is…if you will let me.
