Botox

After different treatments I was offered Botox as a preventative treatment to my headaches and migraines.

botoxI had to complete a headache diary for 3 months, reduce the pain killers not that I took them regular as I am a firm believer in them causing headaches and problem if taken to often.

The Botox entails 31 small injections just under the skin, starting at above eye brows going over the scalp and the last 4 in the neck. It is very quick and can sting. Some hurt a little more than others, for me near the greater occipital nerves but of course each of us will think differently on this.

After it has been done it can bring on a migraine but it is not a given and once it starts to work you should feel the headaches reduce is pain scale and frequency.

For me one large bonus was the reduction in scale pain.

The procedure is repeated every 3 to 4 months now and I can tell when it is due.
