Migraine Headaches Support Group

I have heard about this but never tried it. Since this is a small dose of poision to numb and tighten the muscles I am not sure how it would but good luck

ive never heard of it. but if it works its worth it, right? and its worth a try if you get migraines often, then you've got nothing to lose.

I tried Botox for my migraines. And it didn't help or give me any side affects. I might try it again but I doubt it will do anything.
Botox did help a friend of mine. She still gets migraines but she dosen't get as many since she started Botox injections.

I have tried botox. It didn't really help too much, but according to my new neuro it may be because I wasn't getting enough. My headaches/migraines appeared with chronic left upper back pain that is now almost all the way down my back. The first attempts I had at Botox were only 100 units in the head and back of the upper neck. Then the last attempt, which was also the 4th attempt my old neuro decided to try 200 units to include the upper left shoulder/back area. That really didn't do too much because Botox, from what I understand needs to be done quite frequently to be effective. My new neuro has decided to try 600 units in total with 200 in the head and another 400 units in the left side of my back. I think he also wants to do this every 8 weeks. It will be expensive but hopefully worth it. Some specialists will tell you that more than 300 units is unsafe, and that is why I switched to a new neuro. I am willing to try higher doses as nothing else seems to be working. My old neuro didn't even want to bring me up to 300 units. The new neuro said that that amount of Botox that I have been receiving for my issues and my muscle mass was a little like "peeing int the ocean", in other words he wasn't surprised that my earlier treatments of Botox weren't that helpful.
Anyway, I hope that you find the solution for you. Botox, like other treatments, is not usually a "one time" miracle shot. It takes time and it needs to done by an expert.
Take care.

I was offered these for my migraines from my Neurologist an they did NOTHING for me!

I take Frova and Percocet(only when severe do I take the Perc), works wonders for me.
