I’ve had headaches for 19 years everyday!! Chronic pain. I have been told it is an optical nerve from the neck and it triggers headaches daily. Does anyone know of something I can do to be healed of these. I have been told if its in the memory bank of the brain…the cycly cannot be broken..is this true? Can anything be done?

I don’t want to take drugs..but, I can’t stand the pain. I do pray and ask for Gods help. I believe he has helped me many times but, so far has not healed me
