Yes, I had Botox for Migraines 2 times and it worked great and after the 3rd shot I was experiencing double vision in both eyes, then I noticed my eyes were tiring easily by early afternoon as though I was using them too much! (Yes, that sounds crazy, but that's how they actually felt) I made an appointment with my Neurologist and they insisted it was not the Botox injection and scheduled the next session. I started to have awful pain in my left temple and called the company that distributed Botox and they recommended I do not use Botox any longer. I went to my next appointment and the arrogant head Neurologist insisted that I have the next shot, I should have resisted but had it anyway because he is obnoxious and unfortunately it has permanently damaged the nerve in my left temple and I am left with constant left eye pain and no longer can drive long distances or read for any length of time. I would never use this again if I had the slightest side effect, I would stop immediately.
I have had Migraines for over 30 years, I know how desperate you are to find a resolution for your pain and this does offer a solution...BUT, it is not worth the damage if you have the slightest side effect, so be very careful. Don't let anyone pressure you and don't do it in order to help with wrinkles, it is not worth it, just grow your bangs 🙂
