I had a fever of 101.8 for 10 days. Now the fever's gone, but I sleep after breakfast, lunch and dinner. My doctor has me on Tylenol and meclizine. It affords me no relief. The occipital neuralgia is the worst.
Neuralgias are attacks of sharp stabbing pain or constant burning.
They bring severe spasms of pain that extend along the path of one of your nerves. This condition may be due to injury or irritation of the nerve. In your case, the injury was caused by infection, but in many cases the cause is unknown. The pain from occipital neuralgia comes in episodic attacks that might last for seconds or minutes, and the episodes may recur for days or weeks. Occipital neuralgia causes pain in the back of your head.
