I had my first botox injections 3 months ago and my migraines reduced to almost nothing. They are less severe but I do still need something to help with the pain when I get one. Unless you have great health insurance (I thought that mine was) it will cost a pretty penny. It costs me a little over $500 every 3-4 months with insurance.

You have to have at least 15 migraines a month and there are other criteria. I suggest that you keep a journal to keep track of your episodes.

I also second John's suggestion about seeking better help if you can't find a good neurologist.

Does this make sense?
