Botox had been a lifesaver for me but after doing them regularly for more than 6 years my headaches have come back and mine are severe. As in I was hospitalized 7 times at a world renowned headache clinic. Anyhow after that I found an incredibly kind physiatrist who specialized in pain management. I was on methadone for my pain while we initiated the Botox. It didn’t work right away, hence the methadone, but eventually I weaned myself off of the methadone. I was so proud of myself!😊. And Botox did its magic for many years.

Unfortunately that too seems to have worn off as the headaches started to reappear. I just recently received 2 nerve blocks and several trigger point injections after still having the Botox but on different days because they can not all be done at once. Thank you United Healthcare. Anyhow I did have one trip to the ER last week for my worst migraine ever. I wanted to die. But here I am a week later and I am headache free and therefore depression free. My prayers now are that this combination plus my scary combination of preventative drugs will last. I’ve been going through this for 45 years. My list of meds tried is a full page long ( single spaced) and my current meds take up another 3/4 of a page. All I can say is God help us all!!!
