Replies to "Do u get the Botox shots in your neck or head?"
I get the injections in my upper back, shoulders, neck and scalp. Done every 3 months, and effectiveness lasts all but the last week. I have occasional breakthrough headaches, but they are controlled by taking Ubrelvy
Hi, I'm also 75 and a retired professor. I failed so many Rx for my chronic migraine and then tried Botox. Injections (so painful)-- scalp, shoulders, neck, forehead. At the 3 month mark, I had the second round of injections. I'm not even kidding--I looked like a Neanderthal because my forehead dropped so dramatically. Not trying to throw shade on Neanderthals, but that's not the look I'm going for. Anyway, I was still having multiple migraines per month and did not get the injections at the 6 month mark. But I do know that Botox does provide relief for many people. Just not me.

Hey Margarite,
I was getting Botox to my head and face but it stopped working so she gave my last prescription to my neck. I had the best 2 months in the past 8 1/2 years! My pain level was holding a 7 but this month has been a 10+. I get another round on Monday so I’m hoping I get another couple months of 7’s!
