Botox treatment for migraines?!

[Fiona-bennet]

Has anyone ever heard of Botox treatment for migraines?! (I had bacterial meningitis in 2016 and have had a constant daily migraine since)

My GP mentioned it to me thinking I should try it a few months ago and 2 weeks later my neurologist suggested it as our next method of treatment.

Anyways I had my first treatment yesterday which totaled of over 30 injections in my forehead, temples, behind my ears, back of my head, neck and shoulders and they said it takes a few days to a week to kick in but I wanted anyone’s opinions on it and how they found it? Any info would really help cause this is something I have ever heard of and I’m praying it works

I’ve heard of Botox being used for a few head problems and if it does work then great . Keep us up to date with the results , I really hope it does work .

It is on my list of treatments as well. Not sure about the 30 injections, how did that go?

To be completely honest with all the pain I am always in I didn’t even feel the needle go in

Yikes on the Botox!! I have heard positive results in using CBD oil for migraines. It works with your Endocannabinoid system.

I was honestly so surprised at the lack of pain to get all the injections! I don’t know if it’s because I have a high pain threshold or if I couldn’t feel it because I had a migraine at the time but I didn’t even feel my neurologist performing the treatment at all.

I have read up and heard about CBD oil but I don’t think I would be able to get it
