If you have ever suffered with occipital neuralgia, I'm so sorry. This is beyond painful. I'm waiting for my GP to refer me to a neurosurgeon for ablation of this occipital nerve. I've suffered most of my life and the cardioversion totally caused a firestorm with that nerve. I'm ready to kill it and stop the pain. I'm not sleeping because of it. Nothing helps. Prayers please. I need relief.

I've been following your story and praying for you. I would like to share mine, because I think we could have similar processes. You have had a hypertension crisis that is now resolved. I recently had a hypertension crisis caused by an allergic reaction to steroids. Mine is resolved. As a result of the crisis, my body was depleted of the stress vitamins: B6, B12, folate, riboflavin, plus iron. This depletion caused neuraligia in my limbs, buttocks, chest and lymph system. B6 deficiency also caused my insomnia. Once I supplemented with these vitamins - especially concentrating on B6 - which has an upper daily limit of 100mg and is used frequently to treat alcoholic neuropathy - my neuropathy and insomnnia symptoms have gone away. Eyes will benefit from vitamin balances, just like everything else... You might want to try these simple supplements - at least it's something you can do right away while waiting for additional medical treatment. All the BEST!. -Jane. 😊
