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.

Thank you very much sir
I've been doing Botox for a long time, and it's the best preventative I have. But what I've learned is not all doctors do it the same. I would switch doctors. I did that and got much better results with the second one. There is a doctor named Dr. Andrew Blumendeld who is an expert on Botox. Go on YouTube and he does an actual demonstration on the procedure. Good luck. Jim

It took a year before I noticed any relief from the Botox.
But then it only lasted a year, now I’m back to 10 pain but injections are going in my neck now and that helps.
