@duchess926 Hi, I have been getting Botox for over 25 years now. Was treated with numerous other medications, with little to no relief and many nasty side effects. My 4th neurologist finally made the correct diagnosis and treatment. I got immediate relief after my 1st round of Botox, with no side effects to speak of - other than mild headaches for the first week or so. I had deep tissue massage three times per week for over a year - neck to mid-back, and had some relief that would last 36 to 48 hours, but then migraines would come thundering back. It sounds like our diagnosis is rather different. I hope they figure out what treatment will help you. Will be praying for you.

WOW!!! Botox for 25 years!! Amazing...glad to read it's been so helpful for you.

I just started getting massages and hoping that it helps....all my Neurologist wants
to do is keep on suggesting medications and injections with either Aimovig, Emgality or Ajovy...
I'm not interested in any of that and will stick to the Botox, massages and trying to get back to
working out...appreciate your input!!!
