Can I ask which provider (ENT, PCP, neurologist, etc.) prescribed the Botox treatment for you? I am still dealing with first bite from the same HPV neck cancer surgery that @mpmer described and which I had a year and a half ago. Have tried everything else since and Botox seems to be my last resort. Curious as you mentioned that you have it covered by insurance. TIA

@jpdeiss Yes insurance has covered it so far thanks to Mayo Clinic It was my ENT PA that made the recommendation. Hopefully the muscle will create a memory that will prolong the positive effects. Also micro wave heated rice bag has been very instrumental for me.

@jpdeiss Hello, It was the ENT that mentioned the Botox. But every Thursdays I meet with the radiologist . I started my 2nd of 5 weeks. He just gave 2 scripts for Pregabalin generic for Lyraca. I was on Gabapentin for a leg injury and it messed my head up. I started with a lump on the right side lymph node. Then they found a ping pong size tumor behind it. It also spread to section of the back of my tongue which they removed a small section of it. I hope this may help. I just got the script(pills) today. Starting with them today. Also my 1st bite has progressed to the 5th and 6 th bites. I hope this helps you.
