1 ReactionI strongly recommend that you find a new Neurologist. There is no excuse for what that doctor did.
I’m hoping to get Botox injections again. I had them in Maine and Florida and they helped my headaches a lot. I see the neurologist on 1/6/26 and he will discuss it. I now live in NC and so lucky to have had this doctor recommended. I’m crossing my fingers that I get the same results as in my younger years. I’m 79 now and just finished a Medrol Dosepak to break the cycle. I’ve kept a diary regarding my daily headaches. So here’s hoping 🙏🏻

1 Reaction@duchess926 dang sorry for all of that!
The injections are done pretty quickly though as they move around the head face and neck, I guess we all probably get use to it🤷♂️
I hope you find resolve!

@mojo244 - Well not exactly the update i wanted to hear but I’m hoping for good results… most recently I had a very bizarre problem with my doctor. Apparently, he was under a lot of pressure to do a lot of Botox patients in a day and instead of being a little bit more gentle, he was very rushed through the procedure and kind of randomly and very fast stabbed me all over the head. I did end up with a lot of pain in another week and ended up having to go to an emergency room in a hospital. I needed to be put on intravenous painkillers. It’s been a few weeks since the reaction and I think it’s just starting to calm down. i’ve also gone through another procedure for nerve pain. I’ve had trigeminal nerve pain caused by a dentist. but through my own research, discovered a wonderful nerve pain procedure called Scrambler technique….also known as Calmare Therapy…non invasive and not painful….

2 Reactions@duchess926 I’m in my 3rd year and it took a year to feel relief and then after 2 years the relief has been slowly slipping away and now I’m almost back to 24/7 9-10 pain.
Hang in there though because many find great relief from BOTOX.

2 Reactions@docb99 I have also done the Botox injections to the head. I think it’s about 31 injections or so. They are given every three months because that’s about when the effectiveness wears off. I have had my second round and it’s gotten better and overtime each round gets stronger and better and much more effective. I’ve heard from people who have been doing this for quite some time and are very pleased with the results. I plan to keep doing this.

1 Reaction@lisalucier I stopped them yesterday and so far no stomach issues. I only had to take one Ubrelvy today and usually have to take two to get relief. My fingers are crossed. Thank you for your comment.
