Botox for migraines side effects

@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💕

Glad they work for you! When I had the one and only time with them all over my head my headaches got worse and felt like I had the worse case of flu I have ever had. That was two years ago. At that time they had not published the side effects they do now!
Glad to hear they helped.

I have Botox injections for chronic migraine and cervical dystonia about 6 years hoping one day I have a normal life but I decided not to because nothing happened, at first my pain dropped a little but at this point my mornings are the same.....pain pain and pain, I'm trying CBD and give me a little breathe.
