Occipital Nerve Block for Migraine Headaches

I have had them several times, and they have worked well. However, I am having trouble with the insurance company. According to them there is "not enough proof that these injections have provided or will provide continued relief therefore any future treatments will be paid by the patiient unless he/she can provide accurate scientific clinical trials by the specific Doctor or Pain Management Facility that tthis treatment is working for the individual patient" So, I have had to lay out 600$ two times over the last 6 months inorder to get my shots. They work for me quite well, but I can not afford to lay out all of the cost of the shots forever. I also know of two cases in Canada where the Government system refused to pay for the treatment outright because of questionable results. The patients now come down to Detroit to get the injections.

I HAD MY FIRST INJECTIONS TODAY. MY DR. INJECTED A STEROID DEPO AND A NUMBING AGENT. I BECAME NAUSOUS AND DIZZY 15MINS LATER. MY MOTHER DROVE ME HOME AND I PLACE ICE ON THE INJECTION SIGHT AND TOOK A LONG NAP. WHEN I AWOKE THE CONSTANT THROBBING AT THE BASE OF MY NECK WAS NO LONGER THERE. I CAN MOVE MY HEAD AROUND WITHOUT IT HURTING. NOW LET'S PRAY I DON'T GET ANOTHER MIGRAINE FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME.
