@rwinney Hi Rachel, I came across your post while looking for information on Botox for migraines while also suffering from small fiber neuropathy. I just had my first Botox injections yesterday and today I have been leveled with neuropathy pain. The pain is exactly like any random flair up but I’m wondering if it was triggered by the Botox. Did you notice a flair up in the SFN pain after Botox injections? I know it’s been awhile since your post; I’m hoping you are living pain free now!

@boltz7555 Hi Robyn, thank you for reaching out regarding my experience with Botox and SFN. I'm sorry you are experiencing migraines and also dealing with neuropathy. That is no walk in the park.

Since my post, I have been diagnosed with Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS). CSS is a condition of the nervous system associated with the development and maintenance of chronic pain.The confusing part of this condition is that pain itself can change how brain works, resulting in more pain with less provoking stimuli. Therefore, every time I received Botox injections, hypersensitivity from CSS generated more pain. Mitigating circumstance, such as having SFN, created further confusion about my pain and flares.

Unfortunately, this may not have been much help in answerring your question overall..

Have you consulted with your Neurologist about your flares since receiving Botox? Do you mind describing the flares?
