Today I went to see my primary doctor. I filled him in on all the parts he didn't know already. He poked and prodded my head and determined that I have Acute Occipital Nerve Headache. Also known on the web as Occipital Neuralgia. As I was reading many of the symptoms were just what I experienced: sensitive scalp, head pain that made it hard to lay my head down on a pillow, and light sensitivity. When I have migraines I don't have light sensitivity so that was a new thing. In the emergency room I kept saying the light was so bright someone must be doing surgery in there!
I was told that this could be a one time thing or it could happen again. Let's hope it is a one time thing! If it does happen again, I have been issued some medicine that could stop the pain. If I get these headaches on a regular basis, the next step is to stick a needle in the nerve in my head. Lovely!
I say NO more needles! I have had too many needles. Needles in my foot, in my spine, and in my now in my head? I say NO!
Anyway, I am taking it easy and hope to feel better in time for the Superbowl! Thank you for all your kind words.
