I'm surprised (to say the least) to hear that nerves can grow back - that alone makes me not want to have the procedure - not that it's an option anymore. Your friend must have been so discouraged when this happened. And in just 3 years...wow!<br /><br />I am pretty certain this doc isn't collecting data from his patients that far out from the procedure. The very idea - it's so astonishing. Thank you for sharing that.Migrainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473496432554201124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-42512729704772136332011-03-09T10:49:25.020-06:002011-03-09T10:49:25.020-06:00Della, all I've read says we have overactive n...Della, all I've read says we have overactive nervous systems and my Neuro doc says it is genetic. It is considered a nervous system disorder. I understand your frustration! As I read more about brain function, it looks like drugs that can calm our overactive brains our the best option. Triggers don't cause migraines, they just bring them on. Our genetics do.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253004375110171137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-58513770182459929212011-03-08T20:55:44.413-06:002011-03-08T20:55:44.413-06:00Interesting procedure, however I have a friend who...Interesting procedure, however I have a friend who had a similar procedure done for other nerves and after three years her nerves grew back!! Reconnected!! I had no idea they could when severed. She had had RFA done on them, steroid blocks done on them, and cutting the nerves was the last final step and then they grew back together. Wonder if anyone with his procedure has had this happen.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-60414581138499233162011-03-08T13:32:22.359-06:002011-03-08T13:32:22.359-06:00Jessica, I'm sorry it hasn't been working ...Jessica, I'm sorry it hasn't been working for you - wouldn't it be nice it any of these "treatments" worked...<br /><br />Mindy, That's an interesting question about how it might relate to botox. I might pose that question to my Mayo doc.<br /><br />Assiya, I think it sounds more serious than it actually is. The nerves being addressed are just sensory nerves located not far from the surface and basically severing them (if done correct by an experienced nerve surgeon) will just cause a loss of sensation in the area thy cover, which the body can largely compensate for over time. The nerve block basically does the same thing only temporarily. Surgery is what scares me...I'm always terrified I'll be awake but paralyzed and unable to communicate the pain.<br /><br />Della, I'm doing food today for you :)Migrainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473496432554201124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-81765825716343994682011-03-07T20:06:16.069-06:002011-03-07T20:06:16.069-06:00I so wish I could wave a magic wand and cure all o...I so wish I could wave a magic wand and cure all of my migraine suffering friends. What is the connection, why do they happen, and why can't they find a permanent cure??? There has to be an answer! I hope they find one for you soon. I'm wishing you the best of health, and more blogging about your recipes!

But I will be going back to get a second round of botox/nerve block combination (done a week apart).Assiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555670525635631421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-66372792006253317482011-03-07T17:50:57.128-06:002011-03-07T17:50:57.128-06:00I wonder how this relates to using botox in the sa...I wonder how this relates to using botox in the same areas. I'm seriously considering it because my muscle tension and pressure points are bothering me all the time now and in all the areas you mentioned the procedure is done. I see my Neuro on Friday and am going to ask a lot of questions about muscle tension and anxiety.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253004375110171137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-63714021687500768082011-03-07T17:20:18.689-06:002011-03-07T17:20:18.689-06:00I've read about the decompression surgery...it...I've read about the decompression surgery...it's sounds similar to the RFL I had back in July, except I did not directly have the occipitals done...which I would have loved to have done, but my doc wouldn't do it.<br /><br />The procedure was, for the most part, ineffective anyways...as are nerve blocks for me...but I keep going back hoping it will work just this once!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674502605710098012noreply@blogger.com
