Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

Hi, @sundancerdb78 - how did the actual process of getting onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) shots go for you? I realize you said your outcome for your headaches was not good.

However, for those who may metabolize this treatment differently, I wondered whether you experienced pain with the shots? Did you feel calm or nervous before and during the shots?

I had constant headaches going into the treatment! After the treatment they got worse! Meaning just more pain! Fatigue and hypertension i guess how I felt! Took me 10 days to get it out of my system!
Make sense?
Thanks,
RB

I've been getting Botox (through Kaiser - only $15!!) for 8 months. I do not think it helps, but it doesn't seem to hurt either so I've stuck (no pun intended) with it. Some of the pricks do hurt a bit, but it's quick. I don't think it's that bad or worth getting anxious about.
