Botox
I have recently had 32 injections in my head, neck, and shoulder, plus a couple more in my forehead and between the brows. Acupuncture with poison my husband calls it. But this botox treatment was not administered for cosmetic reasons, but as a preventative measure against migraine. I will keep you posted on how well it works. In the meantime if half of my forehead looks smoothed out and the other half doesn't, you'll know the reason why. Apparently it can take up to 10 days to kick in, and, yes, it did hurt, though I was actually fine. The woman before me almost passed out! I am a toughie...

My dr. has wanted me to try it, but I'm afraid of the side effects. Plus, you don't know if it will actually work or not. I'm still debating as everything else either doesn't work, only works for a short time or I have a bad reaction to it. :(
Never heard of this treatment before. How fascinating. It'll be interesting to hear if it works - my sister gets bad migraines.
I won't be trying the botox for migraines as mine have pretty much disappeared. I've only had a few really minor ones since June 1. The secret? I quit smoking! Who knew?! :)
FWIW, my neurologist recommended that I switch chiropractors to one who practices the Atlas Orthogonal Technique. Over the last 20 years I've seen about 10 different chiro's in 6 states. Comparing their "treatments" with the AO technique is like night and day. AO corrects the CAUSES of my misalignment whereas the other chiro's "bandaid" treatments targeted only the SYMPTOMS of my misalignment. The non-AO treatments clumsily removed some of my symptoms, but after a couple of weeks I was back at square one.
Before switching to AO treatments I had at least 6 migraines/month. After only 4 months of AO, I now have zero migraines.

Is this treatment still working for you?
