Hello, all!
Two months ago I got Botox injections for my migraines, and I promised to keep everyone posted.
I think they may be working.
Since last Tuesday, I haven’t woken up with a morning migraine 6 times, the first time in 2 years. Plus, my daytime migraines are a lot less frequent and less intense.
For everyone considering Botox for treatment, I think I recommend it.
Botox is essential for me. It lessens the frequency and intensity of the migraines quite a lot. The Botox treatments last anywhere from 2-3 months for most people. And they take up to 3 weeks for the full effect, so if you want to continue the effect, you need to get another treatment anywhere from 2-3 months after your first treatment. If I wait more than 2 months, I’m in trouble, because by then the previous one has worn off. and the next one hasn’t taken effect yet.
I’m so glad you said that, Gloria! I’ve had a monster migraine, on and off, for 2 weeks, and thought the Botox wasn’t working anymore. I’m due for my new shots this month, so maybe they’ll kick in again.
