Well, I just got Botox.

I sure hope this will help you with the horrible migraines.

I get migraines, but they aren't frequent "thank heavens". I've been seeing an accupuncturist to help with mine. So far, so good.

The back of my neck is really, really sore today. The muscles hurt and it feels like a bruise when I touch it. The doctor did tell me that while the injections in my face were right below the skin, the ones in my neck would go into the muscle more so I'm not surprised that I'm a little sore.

Do let us know how you feel in the coming days.

The one bad thing with Botox is it doesn't last forever, as many starlets can attest to, but hopefully this will bring you relief!

Yeah, I *think* that it'll need to be redone every six months or something like that. That's still WAAY better than taking 8 pills a day, though. (I'm starting to have issues with my stomach from them)

Yes, please keep us posted on your experience. I'm interested because a good friend had to have nose surgery a few months ago. She never had migraines before the surgery but now they're almost constant. She's been in the emergency room numerous times and they have knock her out to relieve the pain. Of course the nose surgeon says the surgery has nothing to do with her migraines.

She's barely 30 with no wrinkles, but if Botox is an option, I'd sure like to tell her about it. Soo, keep us posted and Thanks!

The dr. said that Botox wasn't very effective for people with actual migraines. Since mine were never diagnosed as migraines and are just called "chronic daily headaches" and they weren't rebound headaches, I was a good candidate.

I sure hope this will help you with the horrible migraines.

I saw an acupuncturist last year for mine but it didn't help. It was just very, very strange haha

That is what my neurologist told me when I asked him pretty much. Not in those exact words. I asked about it several years ago and he said it wouldn't be beneficial for me. My migraines are chronic - 15+ days a month.

I hope you get some relief from them.

Crystal - would it be worth trying one round of Botox? Just to see?

It's been approved in Canada for migraines...so not sure what the confusion is.

JXML - hope this works for you!

My neurologist feels that it really would not be beneficial to me. We've discussed it at great length.
