I had bad head and neck pains and lightheaded/dizzy days for about 18 months. Would last a day or two then feel fine inbetween. Held down a super full time career and ran a home really well. Was succesfull etc. But since xmas when I had a major head ache/pain in the back lower part of one side of my head which started boxing day and went on and on I saw a neuro who thinks it is occipiral neuralgia. On gabapentin and awaiting some procedures in theatre to help (I hope!) Any one else have this out there?
