Hi every one, i havnt been on line for 4_5 months. But i am the migrane person 25 days a month for the last 3 years.
Well thank god i finnly got some relief!!!
BOTOX. Yep i tried every pill every test and i mean everything!!!! It was slow to work. Started first botox in October of 2016. Still got the migranes but not as violent as before. Then the second dose on dec 17th. The headacks were not lasting as long and not as violent. Then on march 20th. My third go around!! I hav only had one a month in the last two months the 13th and 14th of april only lasted 2 days. And the 5th and 6th of this month only lasted 2 days. Also when i take something for the migrane it really helps. Before it didnt mater what i took. Nothing much helped. So if you havnt tried botox then check it out it is pretty expensive if your ins. Dosnt cover it. Good luck
Sharon

@sharonmay7 I was just forwarding your message to my daughter and wondered also, where do they inject the botox when it is for migraine?
Thanks.

@sharonmay7, I cannot imagine having migraines that many days in a month. I can really empathize with you. I used to have at least one 3 or 4 day migraine a month, often two. Back then Imitrix was just coming on the market but I was afraid of it because they said if you had heart problems you shouldn't take. I do not have heart problems but everyone in my family has so that scared me.
My daughter unfortunately inherited my migraines so I will pass this on to her. Mine stopped with menopause. I think I was one of very few women anxious to go through menopause, so of course mine was late!
