I meant to ask you how long you tried botox? I had my doubts about it at first mainly because I wasn't being patient enough. It took me 3 rounds of 40 injections which can only be given every 3 months. My head is a mixed bag between migraine and neuropathy and I now know that I count down the days in the final month when I'm due again for botox. Maybe it just didnt work for you as not everything works for everyone. I have found success with Emgality monthly migraine self injections (after Aimovig failed me) and Cambia which is an abortive powder packet that is mixed with 3 tablespoons of water upon migraine onset. I'm really sorry to hear of your struggles. Migraine is one of the most debilitating states to be in and I feel for you.

I had 3 Botox shots. Numbers 1 and 3 did nothing. Number 2 helped for about 3-4 weeks. Next
week I will have a nerve block, and I am really hoping it will help. Sometimes I think my head will explode. I also have a sleep study coming up next month as well as a consultation for my fibromyalgia in Rochester on Dec. 23 and lab work and a rheumatology visit on December 20. Sjögren’s has worsened so that my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth when I wake up in the morning. I can’t take the saliva producing meds. This has been the most challenging time in my life. I am driven to find some answers. Thank you for your input.
