This is 1251again a lot of people are getting relief from Botox .i have tried it but it did not work for me but other people have had results that's something to think about good luck x

If you get the opportunity try Botox treatment after 25 years of chronic migraine I now have a relatively normal life, averaging just one migraine every few months. Previously I could have up to 15 attacks a month.

Definitely worth a try.

Best wishes

Have you tried imitrex injections or Naratriptan tablet. I have not been to the E.R. since having the injection. I now get occipital nerve blocks which are a God send. I get botox and trigger point injections as well. I'm new to this forum but I hope the info was helpful.

I've had many medications, nerve block injections, but botox is the best so far. I have this along with lamotrigine (sp), propranolol & sumbutriptan and it definitely eases them.

I've had migraines over 25 years. I now function better, the attacks are less frequent and they don't last as long.
