occipital pain

I'm noticing that I'm getting more occipital pain than I used to. I'm not sure if it's part of the progression of the disorder, if it has to do with stress, or if it's just as random and obnoxious as the ATN is.

I do hope that when I go see the doc on the 16th he will be amenable to a different course of pain medication, since this one isn't doing as well as it used to. Again, I'm not sure if that's because the pain is stronger, if I'm developing a tolerance to the meds, both, or what.

What I do know is that I am beyond ready for all this to stop, but I see no chance of that happening any time soon, or ever...

What a nasty little disease this is.
