Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

A good friend of mine gets the shots, with some success, and my neuro has offered them to me. Its a series of 32 all over the head and upper neck. He says it takes him 15 minutes. no time for any dulling cream. Of course I would feel some anxiety going into this because it hurts! if I choose to do it, I would take .25 mg of xanax. The cost under my plan would be $200. every 10 weeks. I have had my first IMOVIG shot and will do 3 of those before I try anything else.

If you try Botox, check with the manufacturer of Botox for a coupon. My neuro is telling me my insurance covers it 100%. When I called my ins co they said I pay 20%. Nobody knows anything anymore.

I had 2 rounds of Botox 8 years ago. It is not pleasant, but bearable. I got no relief from headache. I am hoping this time I will have so me good results, just worried about my eyes. The neuro has agreed to keep them away from my eyes. Good luck to all who try this.
