Good morning folks, it’s a beautiful Saturday morning and this video I shared to start off today, was something that I think all of us cast iron users might be helpful. When you click the link below to watch it, if you’re not already following Kent Rollins on YouTube, I’d hope you do.

On to a recap of this week. I last posted on Sunday, and I think Monday, trying to keep my good habit up at least three days a week. Anyhow, in my last post, I mentioned being one among many, that have many invisible illnesses. One of which of those invisible illnesses, is a very painful, only understandable if you’ve ever experienced it yourself, called occipital neuralgia. Mine came along suddenly last fourth of July, and sadly, hasn’t gone away. I’ve seen different doctors that wanted to be, “inside their little box, government/big pharma compliant, to just call it chronic migraines, here’s some meds, call me when/if you need more or something different” have a nice day Drs. Clearly, that didn’t make me happy, nor did it do anything.

So, advocating for myself, tired of hurting and feeling useless, I went off in search of a second opinion neuro via my primary, who was on board with trying to help me, knowing she as a primary Dr, could not. So, a day before my hubby’s surgery two months ago, he is an neuro ophthalmologist, awesome. He checked me out pretty thoroughly, decided it wasn’t anything to do with my eyes, thank you Jesus. He felt and pushed around, trying to get me some relief, he listened when hubby and I talked and described and explained to him all that took place over the past twelve years anyhow. By the end of my appt, he said, good news, it’s not”just” a headache, and it’s not”just” a migraine. It’s occipital neuralgia, that when really flared up, brings on migraines, and no, direct migraine meds won’t touch. He gave me two nerve blocks on each side of Base of my skull, which sadly didn’t work and two different meds, that as of late, aren’t doing much, unless I’m sleeping.

Ok, so, I said I’d delve deeper into my invisible illnesses, and I started with the most severe one currently. I’ll be back later for some of the rest of them.

Have a blessed day.🥰🤗🙏
