I’m battling chronic migraine 24/7 since cancer treatments 8 1/2 years ago.
Migraine meds were not working and they were $400 per month for 9 pills.
I started Botox a bit over 2 years ago. My head and face were the target areas. It took about a year before I noticed any relief but then it stopped working so my PA decided to use the Botox in my neck, front and back. The relief was quite fast as far as my neck stiffness. Within a few days my migraine reduced from a chronic 10 pain to about a 7. I can definitely live with a 7 pain!
My neck stiffness was much more tolerable for 2 months. I will receive another round of Botox this Friday and I am definitely in need. I’m back to a 10 migraine and very stiff neck. This will only be my second round to the neck so I’m sure it will take several rounds to really know how well it will work?

Also just FYI, I was on feeding tube for nearly a year as well. Eating is still a challenge!
I will try to keep you up to date!

Sorry I was mistaken; my next Botox is June 30th not this Friday 🤷‍♂️

I had nasopharyngeal cancer treatment in 2006, and I was ok in speech and swallowing. But in mid 2020 - I had problems with speech (not able to form words - slurring), and with swallowing. It was then that I was diagnosed with severe neck fibrosis
My oncologist, medical teams, and my doctor from Late Effects of Radiation did not refer me for botox treatments (it's only lately from this website that I am aware of botox to assist in severe neck fibrosis).
Does one require a referral from family doctor? Thanks.
