1/Kids now out of school? Headache already?? Usually neuroimaging doesn’t add much in headaches, but in occipital neuralgia MR neurography can add a lot.

2/ There are actually 3 occipital nerves:greater, lesser and least. They arise from the upper cervical nerves and innervate various areas of the dorsal scalp. The greater occipital nerve is the only one large enough to image and it arises from C2
3/The greater occipital nerve is the largest cutaneous nerve in the body and can be traced from its origin at the dorsal ramus of C2 along the scalp in MR neurography
Is anyone else afraid of the lack of black women voices in #longcovid conversations? If anyone knows how challenging it is to be heard by doctors, it’s us. From fibroids to infertility to cancers to endometriosis, we already have lived being disbelieved.
Prior to having #longcovid, I had been privileged in a sense. I had never had a health condition that wasn’t believed by medical professionals. But babyyy, since contracting #covid19, I’ve learned and lived this nightmare for five months.
You can’t be a smart, black woman while describing symptoms and challenges of #longcovid. It is NOT allowed. During a recent hospital stay, I argued with a doctor who told me that #covid19 didn’t cause neurological problems. He didn’t want to hear me.
