@mikaylar I had no problems getting Botox. My neurologist is one of the best she teaches other doctors how to give the Botox shots (33). I don't know where you live but she is in Illinois. Her name is Dr. Anderson Neurologist Good luck Bernie

@bernieboy, It's not the actual injections that I struggle with, it's the botulism or whatever they put in the medication. They are too close to my eyes and I don't need any more eye problems. My retina doctor agreed.

@bernieboy @mikaylar @mikkelp - Hi All….I live in NYC and just had my third round of Botox for head pains. I don’t have Migraines…I have Hypnic Headaches….In addition, I am also doing the Scrambler Technique Therapy for Trigeminal Nerve pain….basically I am a mess.
I’m reading about concerns to the eyes and now will ask my eye doctor who did my cataracts….I was told after the third episode of Botox, it gets better….Unfortunately, I’m four days past third round and I’ve been having head pains ….I’m taking 10mg of Rizatriptan every day so far…I really don’t like taking most meds unless necessary. My “go to” was Prednisone and it always worked. Unfortunately I have built up a resistance and need stronger doses plus it’s not the best medicine to take….I’m not happy having to take so much Rizatriptan right now but don’t know what else to do….My brain feels totally fried at this point.
