Botox #3

Each treatment she changes where she'll stab the needles into my arm. I think she forgot to take notes last time; She and the tech got into a discussion over which muscles to inject. Nice to be an experiment but it's not a problem for me. The botox is supposed to reduce hand and forearm tremor. I'd been trying to work on meditation but the tremor was too much of an irritation to allow focus. The second treatment I saw decent improvement and was able to meditate somewhat. She injected eight spots on my wrist and elbow.. Hopefully this treatment does more.

I used to get it briefly for dystonia in my toes I hated all the jabbing like you mentioned and didn't trust that poison in my body long term so I stopped it. Hope it helps you and ask her why she doesn't write down where she pokes you each time.

Botox works very well to also reduce pain. I have had nerve pain in my left shoulder that goes all the way to my fingers. Within an hour after an injection of Botox in my left shoulder near the neck, the pain is gone.
