Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

Was Botox successful? My doctor wants me to try it again. It did not work 8 years ago. I worry about the toxicity and my glaucoma and macular degeneration. Eye doc says it's okay, but they aren't his eyes.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Headache & Migraine Support Group.

I've been getting Botox (through Kaiser - only $15!!) for 8 months. I do not think it helps, but it doesn't seem to hurt either so I've stuck (no pun intended) with it. Some of the pricks do hurt a bit, but it's quick. I don't think it's that bad or worth getting anxious about.

It's not the procedure I am scared of......it's the toxins close to my eyes I worry about.

I've never had any adverse reaction, nor has anyone else I know who has gotten Botox for cosmetic reasons.
