    I’ve tried Botox, it did not work for me.

    This is wonderful! I used Botox in July and it cut my migraines in half and more. Stress related migraines were gone. I still have to watch my diet for triggers. I acually have a life now. Thank you both, Botox and FDA, for giving HOPE for those of us who had none.

    I received Botox injections from a Neurologist that has been treating me for migraines on 1/21. Within 2 days I had a rash that spread from the back of my legs down to my feet and around each elbow. Using a steroid cream to dull the itching. 11 days later, still dealing with the side effects. I was told this is a very rare. Headaches have been reduced by only a small percentage.

    I’m 6 weeks past my first series of injections and have had some very minor improvements (down from an average of 6 a week to 5, and fewer with severe nausea). My neuro says he’s going to increase the dosage in six weeks when I go for the next series. Years ago, I participated in a study that involved botox injections in the trigger points of the back, neck and shoulders. That helped much more than the current “approved” treatment, but insurance won’t cover it. Cost is around $3000 every 12 weeks. It may be worth it, since my life is hardly worth living at this point. Has anyone else tried the trigger point injections?

      My Neurologist gave me Trigger Point Injections with Steroids not Botox. Injections were concentrated around the back of my head and neck plus top of my shoulders. A series of 3 over a 4 week period. Not much help.

    It will be interesting to see if this treatment works. I have not suffered from migraines but I recently saw a few stories on news mags like The Journal with Joan Lunden and CNN that were talking about the number of people who deal with chronic migraines and the effects it has on their lives. It sounds horrible. Hopefully this treatment will have the capability of helping some people.
