Cindy,
What department did you go to at the Mayo clinic? Where on your head do they give you the steroid shots.?
I'm getting my second botox Injection next week. I've had no side effects, but no improvement either so far.

@sharonrose I have Botox injections for migraines (many years now) and they have been very effective. However, I had been doing some research at the beginning of this intervention and read from many people that the injections took at least three rounds before noticing any change. So, I kept doing them and on the fourth round of injections, my migraines dropped in half and have gradually gotten even a little less than that. Thus, if you have the insurance and willingness to take the chance, you might find success (although I completely dislike all those shots!). I’ve had migraines my whole life and there is no magic in this disease....just trying things until you find something that might help....I do Botox, eat gluten free, take preventive medication, take rescue medication, do not drink alcohol, and try to keep the most boring, stable daily routine.....this is the best route I have found for me (sometimes adding massage or pool therapy); and migraines are down to 4-8 a month, which I consider a miracle.... may you find something that leads you to find relief that you find tolerable💕
