Yes, I’ve been getting Botox for two years now every three months and it has helped my immensely. I have dramatically reduced migraine days now, I was having 25 a month now just 1-3. It didn’t happen straight away but after a few sessions I saw huge change. Hope it works for you too :)

Thanks for replying. On the days that you don't have a migraine are you totally headache free?

In the beginning no, but that’s because I had, had a migraine attack which lasted 6 weeks. So constant migraine for 6 weeks where I was hospitalised, put on hectic medication and seen by many specialists. After that I then had 25 migraine days with a migraine hangover in between. But that did improve with Botox sessions, now I am completely headache free on days I do not have a migraine. Which is amazing :)

Hi Ruby. I have had six sessions of Botox over the last two years. The first two helped about 50/60%. The third, which was the best at about 8@%. The last three sessions have reduced in their effect and I have decided not to have any more for the time being. I would say give it a go.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks Nanniegill

I really hope it works. I have had a headache/migraine all day everyday since December. Even half as many would be amazing.

I’ve had Botox injections now for a few years and it’s the best treatment I’ve ever had. My migraines are cut in half if not more. Don’t get me wrong I do still suffer with them but since having this treatment the severity and frequency has really decreased. BEST THING EVER!
