Botox in the head

[kaypeeoh]

I went for a Botox treatment of the tremor in my left arm and wrist. My wife mentioned I have a lot of headaches and sometimes take her migraine pills. The neuro mentioned that she has left-over botox that can't be returned so after stabbing my elbow and wrist she stabbed me in the head. For the first two days it seemed to work but this morning I woke with a bad headache and needed tylenol. But not bad enough that I needed my wife's migraine pills. I guess that's progress.

My husband also has tremors in hands. Can you share with me your experience how the botor in hands on your case? How long does it lasts? How effective is it? Is it really decreaseng the tremor? At what %? Can you still move your hand? In which clinic are getting it?

I go to Hartford Health in Mystic, CT. My hands are functional; I can still thread a needle. Botox reduces the tremor by about 50%. The tremor never stops completely. At best, it's just not so noticeable. If it's bad I'll sit on my hand to stifle it.

Botox takes about 5 days to begin to work

And still can you use your muscles?

the functional neurologist suggested that my husband use a percussion massager on his thumbs to reduce tremors but after seeing the vibration gloves I said why not use it on all your fingers and it seems to reduce the tremors

Could-you, please, share about the device you are using ? Thank you

the percussion part is flat - the percussion massager has a cord- it is generally used for back pain or maybe arm muscle pain after a person does a lot of exercise
