I am a patient (not a medical professional!) who has been dealing with hemicrania continua since 2009. This causes constant head and facial pain on one side of the head 24/7. I am looking into occipital nerve stimulation as a treatment as I have tried everything else.

What the...
Ok, so now something totally different is happening. Now the right side of my head has been hurting this afternoon. Strangely enough the right side of my head hurt and my left cheek was red and hot. What is going on with my crazy body?? Tonight however I am back to the same ol' headache on the left and red hot cheek. I wonder if I need to ask to have leads placed on both sides if I actually get to have the stimulator placed? Now I am wondering a little bit about my diagnosis. I have read a couple of articles about a person having hemicrania continua with side shift, but it seems to be very rare. Up until now I have never had a doubt. All the symptoms matched. Who knows?
