@johnetteg, I added your message to the Chronic Pain group as well since there are several discussions about migraines in that group. I'd also like to bring @crstyday40 @daniellef @wiserranter and @krissylamb into this discussion since they have experience with botox injections.

John, was this the first time that you've had botox for migraines? When did you start to experience the unwanted side effects of blurred vision, light headedness, heart palpitations and nausea, etc.? Did you call your provider to report the symptoms?

I experienced these symptoms 2 days after the injections. For the first two days, I had the blurry vision, pressure in my eyes, heavy forehead, then 2 days after started to experience all the other symptoms I listed. I did tell my neurologist but they didn’t seem to think that the Botox could cause these symptoms but I feel they have because they started right after the injections and have been going on for two weeks.
