I haven't read the side effects for Botox because I think my brain would create them, so I only look up what I experience. I have had a brief headache and slight leg pain right after the injections but the next day heavy congestion which affects my balance and triggers vertigo. I should mention I have a lot of allergies (food and environmental) so this reaction probably isn't the norm. I also have increased anxiety which I'm told is because it can intensify a range of emotions. Its been almost a month and both are finally subsiding. But it definitely reduced the nerve pain and spasticity. I think Botox is only approved for spasticity but it still helps the nerve pain because my doctor said they are intertwined in some way. I think like which came first with the chicken and the egg.

The Lyrica worked really well. About an hour after taking my legs felt so light when I walked. I couldn't believe it - I felt like I didn't have any issues with my legs. But I experienced double vision at first and then pressure in my eyes which didn't go away. I stopped it then and my doctor agreed. But I have an appt with an opthamologist in a few weeks to get their feedback because Lyrica worked so well.

Gabapentin made my arm and shoulder tremor.

I hope you're not as sensitive as I am.

I would like to hear how you are doing going through the process. I don't know anyone with MS so I'm happy to share your thoughts.
