@sundance... reading this upset me. Sorry to read what you went through , no fault of your own except to trust a Doctor. "No" doctor in my opinion can or should say "any" treatment is no big deal, or such words, because "stuff happens". There is always a certain percentage of risk and we have to weigh the pros and cons.... would we go ahead with a treatment if the attending doctor said: In the majority of treatments the patients have done very well, but there is a ---- percentage it might not work, or you may have more pain, etc. etc. I believe they are now calling this "transparency."
Might sound funny my saying this but I was born in UK, started bad migraines around age 12 or so.... anyway, I remember years later reading that the Queen's sister, Margaret, suffered from migraines and there was nothing they could do. Honestly, although young, when I read this I thought to myself, if they can't "cure" her migraines they aren't going to cure mine! I had classic ones with the one sided head pain for hours, aura, vomiting etc. as I have said until mid forties I think... when they changed to mostly Aura/Visual - never know when its going to happen... I had also had them visually when younger and when in labour for 2nd daughter had a visual, didn't even mention it to the nurses as nothing can be done. I have no idea what sets mine off.... its not food, weather, stress... I think it's just something I was born with and live with. Thanks for the Botox warning btw, J.S.
