i have been to multiple drs for years, treating me for cluster headaches, migraines, and finally i saw a new dr that said she believes i have atypical trigeminal neuralgia and occipital neuralgia.

i am in pain every single day of my life, like a baseline of pain, that sporadically shoots thru my face. i had been on topamax as a preventative when they thought headaches which didnt help. now theyre talking nerve blocks. im talking to my neighbor who is an accupuncturist and she says she may be able to help. im just so confused and dont know whst to do. i literally just quit my job because of the constant pain
