Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

I too have tried Botox, helped at first but hasn't helped the last time done at all. I have been dealing with daily headaches and frequent migraines for 40 years. I have tried so many medications with no relief. Relpax does help sometimes. I am currently on day 5 of migraine, went for tornado shot and phenergan at urgent care, helped for a few hours but awoke with severe pounding headache again. I have been approved for SSDI thankfully as it makes it so hard to work with continuous migraines (as well as back issues). I have have been to multiple doctors, pain specialist, etc. might see about getting appt at Mayo to see if they can make any suggestions to get relief.

Where do you live? I have a friend who tried Mayo with no luck. They sent her back to Philly to our Headache Center - Jefferson.

I had Botox 3 times & no help.

I started Aimovig monthly injections 5 months ago. It has been life changing for me. I only get 2-3 migraines a month vs. 12. Its great not having to take/ try all the various pills. Has anyone else had success with this?
